Another new America's Cup Boat - Luna Rossa's new AC75

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli was the third new AC75 to be unveiled at the Italians’ base in Cagliari. And as the shrouds around the hull fell away to reveal the silver hull with its distinctive Prada red decals there was no mistaking which team we were looking at.
There is an old adage in design that says, 'if it looks right it probably is' and it’s tempting to say this about the latest Luna Rossa.
Yet, the trouble is that the AC concept is still so new that we still don’t really know what constitutes ‘right’ when it comes to a 75ft, 50+knot flying machine.
So, while time will tell on that score, as the Italians lowered their latest silver dream racer into the water, their renowned talent for style has given us a benchmark when it comes to a good looking boat….at least for now.
Matt Sheahan takes a look at the key features and compares her to the two other launches so far from Alinghi Red Bull Racing and Emirates Team New Zealand.

I hope the boats are indeed closer in performance than in the previous edition, it will be an exciting cup. I can’t wait. Go Luna Rossa 🇮🇹!

what a boat.  the Italian design didn't fail the reputation for high style . Really enjoyed the info.

when I saw the profile I was surprised how much the boat reminded me of a goose in flight, or perhaps a penguin . they really are turning into bird shapes.

Thanks for the review.
I'm only a semi knowledgeable fan, and yes this is way over my head technically speaking, , I still enjoy it.
But not going to lie, I'm getting more confused than ever...

Reminds me of my childhood.

"This is a class 1 manoeuvre navigator."

If it sails as good as it looks it will win. Let's go #TeamNZ

Leave it to the Italians to show up as stylish as possible.. ;-)

It seems that the 2 helmsmen will have the head completely inside with a "glass cockpit" in the front. Such glass cockpit shape seems to have been covered at the moment, but the lines are there. I have serious believes that all the 8 crew of LRPP will have the head "under" at all times

what is the fastest production boat 40ft or under in your opinion?

Le ali di Lunarossa hanno un disegno meno efficiente rispetto a quello di New Zeland, manca il bulbo e le winglets l, se guardiamo all’idronamica dei delfini e orche questo aspetto è evidente
