ROAD TO AUCKLAND

THE JOURNEY TO AUCKLAND

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s journey to the 36^ America’s Cup is neither the shortest nor the easiest. It is so much more than the 10,800 miles of sea (20,000 km) that separate Cagliari from Auckland and the days left until the start of the event. The route chosen to take the team to the 36^ America’s Cup presented by PRADA is that of a group of people on a mission.

All this would not be possible if it weren’t for the energy of two of Italy’s finest Industrial giants: Prada Group and Pirelli Group. All this would not be possible if it weren’t for the determination of Patrizio Bertelli, President of Luna Rossa Challenge, who has dreamt of winning the America’s Cup since 1997.
