The first AC75 of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, which was christened in October 2019, recently left Cagliari and is on its way to New Zealand.

The hull, the rigging and support boats has been loaded onboard a cargo-ship, which was moored directly at the base in Molo Ichnusa. The cargo will arrive in Auckland in a month and a half’s time, at the end of October.

See you soon in Auckland, Luna Rossa!

The team's race boat will be flown to New Zealand.
