Yesterday the Luna Rossa team began its preparations for the 36th America’s Cup at its new permanent base in the waters of Cagliari last week, with a TP52 class monohull, one of the highest-performance and most demanding racing yachts, which it will use for the 2018 52 Super Series.

The first boat in the new AC75 class of monohulls, to be used for the 36th America’s Cup (see Prada Group Journal no. 17), will be launched in Spring 2019, and the team will move to New Zealand in autumn 2020 for their final preparations for the competition.
