Congrats to INEOS Brittania for a perfect defensive race 7 and winning the Louis Vuitton Cup.

And so sad for Luna Rossa, whose equipment failures along the way and slightly slower speeds took them out of the running.

Onwards to the Cup!

Luna Rossa vs Orient Express

Ancora un’ottima prova per Luna Rossa: nonostante il vento debole batte Orient Express e si assicura l’ingresso in semifinale BARCELLONA – Passato il fronte temporalesco, che ha tenuto ieri in banchina gli AC75 impegnati nella 37^ America’s Cup, le regate sono riprese oggi con un vento da Sud sui 10 nodi, accompagnato da cielo limpido e temperature decisamente più fresche.  Nel secondo match…

What is it about red Italian sports teams and bad luck? Ferrari is on a whole other level of bad luck, we know it, but in the last two days Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has broken four battens and subsequently also ripped the mainsail, gotten one of their hydrofoils stuck, nosedived, and A WHOLE PIECE OF THE CARBON FIBRE DECK WENT FLYING. Also a couple of weeks ago their mainsail rail just came off.

I think we have found Ferrari’s water sports counterpart.

A two-time winner, Spithill said he believes he has raced in his last America’s Cup after his Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli was beaten in the challengers’ final on Friday in Barcelona, Spain, by his former Oracle crewmate Sir Ben Ainslie and INEOS Britannia.

“I really think I am at the end of the line now. I think this is it for me,” the 45-year-old Spithill said, while lauding all the young sailing talent coming up behind him.

“I think you have to be realistic, I wasn’t good enough to get it done here and I think it’s time the gloves are hung up,” Spithill, who was a boxer during his youth in Australia, said in a shoreside TV interview.

This was his eighth consecutive America’s Cup and third with Luna Rossa.

…

Spithill first sailed with Luna Rossa in the 2007 America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain. Italian fans and broadcasters were so smitten with his aggressive tactics that they nicknamed him “Jesse James Spithill” — after the legendary American gunslinger — and “James Pitbull.” 

Spithill told The Associated Press late last year that he is planning to start an Italian team in Ellison’s SailGP global league and expects to have more details later this fall. 

He lives full-time in San Diego with his American wife and two sons.

On Day 7 of the Louis Vuitton Round Robin Challenger Series, NYYC American Magic secured their spot in the semifinals after a hard-fought victory against the Orient Express Racing Team (France). Despite tough conditions and a challenging race against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli earlier in the day, the American team showed resilience and skill to clinch the win they needed.

Fucking hell. After this...

I held my breath with every veer and jibe. Can't imagine how they felt. And yet, onward we go! What a team.

Well.

Glory to Cuben fiber, I suppose.

Still, the foils and hi-tech take confirm to be more an issue than anything. I had my preferences, and they've been confirmed during these finals.

Overnight, the Italian shore team burnt the midnight oil repairing a damaged mainsail traveller track system that had given way in the semi-final race yesterday and gifted the American team a race win to close to 4-3 in this first-to-five series. The Italian shore team heroes were described as looking like ‘zombies’ this morning but their efforts were thoroughly rewarded with the Italian boat gleaming in the Barcelona sunshine, looking good as new and the team regaining its imperious form of earlier in the semi-final.

…

Picking a big pressure patch on the second downwind leg allowed the Italians to extend and for American Magic it was roll-the-dice time on the final windward leg. Unfortunately for them, there were no opportunities to make gains and Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailed away to record a 61 second final delta and secure their place in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final against INEOS Britannia – scheduled to start on Thursday September 26.

Was it @jimstares who called Jimmy a zombie last time?

American Magic was eliminated from the Prada Cup semi-finals by Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli on Saturday 30 January 2021, after 4 consecutive defeats and sinking. In August 2021 the Team signaled their intent to race in the 37th America's Cup competition.
