The partnership represents a unique opportunity for us and a strategic choice that will give us worldwide visibility. Added to this is personal satisfaction, I have always been a big fan of sailing and this initiative makes me particularly proud of what we, as WIIT, are achieving.

"The America's Cup is an all-round technological and sporting challenge, where nothing can be left to chance," said Luna Rossa Operations Manager Gilberto Nobili.
