History:

Luna Rossa, launched in 2000, is an iconic racing yacht that played a pivotal role in the America's Cup. Designed by the Luna Rossa Challenge team, an Italian syndicate led by Patrizio Bertelli of Prada, the yacht was built with cutting-edge materials like carbon fiber for speed and efficiency on the racecourse. Luna Rossa was conceived to bring the America's Cup to Italy, showcasing Italian innovation in yacht design.

In its debut at the 2000 America's Cup in Auckland, New Zealand, Luna Rossa quickly gained attention for its sleek design and impressive performance. Although it did not win the Cup that year, the yacht demonstrated the team's skill and set a new standard for competitive sailing. Luna Rossa competed again in the 2003 and 2007 America's Cups, continuing to challenge top teams like Team New Zealand and Alinghi.

Luna Rossa's performance and design were groundbreaking, and it became a symbol of Italian excellence in sailing. The yacht's distinctive look, with its black hull and red accents, became synonymous with the Prada brand. Over the years, Luna Rossa continued to evolve, staying at the forefront of America's Cup competition.

Today, Luna Rossa remains a major contender in the America's Cup and continues to inspire the world of competitive sailing. It embodies the spirit of innovation and the relentless pursuit of victory, making it one of the most recognized yachts in sailing history.
