In Cagliari, on the 27 January 2020 during a sea trial, the AC75 Luna Rossa dismasted a few miles off the coast from Marina di Capitana.

According to the team, no-one was injured in the incident. The mast, sails and rig were immediately recovered by the sailors onboard, with the help of the shore crew on the support ribs.

“It’s a new boat and something like this can happen,” commented the Luna Rossa team. “If you don’t push hard you will never know your limits.”

The whole team is already at work to return on the water as soon as possible and resume the training sessions in preparation for the America’s Cup World Series that will take place from April 23 to 26.
