Luna Rossa: Two boat testing in foiling AC45’s

Luna Rossa is the only team to be sailing two AC45 test boats. The team’s base in Cagliari, Sardinia has been active, with two boat testing and ongoing modifications to their AC45 test boats. They have added wheel steering, but to date we have not seen flared hulls and cockpits or any modifications to the crossbeams on their AC45 test boats “Piranha” and “Swordfish.”  Read more here and here.

Luna Rossa has acquired Energy Team’s AC45 which will be modified add the one design foiling package for racing in the AC World Series. The ACWS kicks off in Cagliari in early June. Francesco Bruni will helm the Luna Rossa entry.
