America’s Cup Highlights: Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sails like a rocket to the final (5-3)

It was clear that it was going to be a war of nerves from the pre-start. The eighth race of the Louis Vuitton Cup between Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and American Magic was a highlight and it did not disappoint. Several crossings to the limit in the first section (upwind) and passing through the first gate with Luna Rossa in charge and 20” ahead of American Magic, it was a good fight. There was, but in the end the greater Italian speed prevailed (5-3).

In the middle of the first run, the Azzurri were 400 meters ahead and the Americans, despite making some mistakes, held off the Italian attack (21” at the second gate). In the second upwind stable differences of about 300 meters for the transalpine union but the Americans recovered something and when passing through the third gate only 8” of advantage for Luna Rossa, a very good upwind for the 'Patriot' but taking advantage of a wind pressure they opened a little gap the Italians.
