At first America’s Cup Women of the story speaks Italian: le girls from the Luna Rossa team Prada Pirelli win the final (held in a single regatta) against Athena Pathway. The British girls, who emerged victorious from the semi-final round and seemed to be more consistent, started as favourites, but the Italians proved they could beat anyone by winning 5 races between the preliminary round and the semi-finals and in the final match race they dominated the race with a margin of 150 meters in the last leg astern traveling at 35 knots.
Another triumph after the America’s Cup at youth level
The one-design AC40 of the Italian team had Giulia Conti and Margherita Porro at the helm, with Giulia Fava and Maria Giubilei as trimmers. It is the second victory of the Italian team in Barcelona in the collateral events of the actual America’s Cup, Vuitton included, after the victory of the crew in the women’s race.
