Magnifica serie! Alla faccia soprattutto dei gufi italiani che screditavano Bertelli e il doppio timoniere che poi in prepartenza ci hanno copiato gli altri. Tutti a smimuire Luna Rossa e pronti a criticare ogni scelta, i foil, la chiglia, il colore... Alla fine 11 vittorie su 12 di quelle che contavano davvero. E infatti sono spariti dai radar tutti i gufi che godono delle disgrazie dei loro stessi connazionali. Dimostrazione di competenza, mentalità, capacità, classe! Congratulazioni!

Italia Gente di mare portiamo la gloria nel monfo

[@lupoellison7391]

In toni urbani, io avevo criticato la scelta del doppio skipper, perché nessuna barca nella storia ha avuto due skipper e nemmeno in questa Prada Cup americani e inglesi (e neozelandesi in allenamento parallelo) si sono affidati a due skipper. Lo stesso Elio De Angelis, nell'intervista odierna sulla rosea ha affermato che la scelta del doppio skipper presenta lati positivi e negativi. Io non sono nessuno, ma americani, inglesi (Ben Ainslie) e neozelandesi ed Elio De Angelis (che nella vela storicamente qualcosa hanno vinto) coi fatti (skipper unico) e con le parole hanno screditato Bertelli e Max Sirena e la loro scelta. In effetti nella christmas cup e nei round robin di prada cup Checco e Jimmy hanno accusato problemi di comunicazione e affiatamento, poi brillantemente risolti. Imho non è questione di fare i gufi ma con queste barche nuovissime ci possono essere opinioni difformi rispetto alle soluzioni adottate e quando le critiche sono oggettive ci stanno. Il fatto di vedere Sir Ben, in un prepartenza, restare schiacciato tra la randa e il bordo della barca rischiando di finire fuori bordo nel tentativo di raggiungere il timone sull'altro lato, fa pensare che su questi AC75 la soluzione di Luna Rossa potrebbe essere vincente, quindi mea culpa per le critiche e tanto di cappello a Max Sirena. Personalmente non ho mai goduto delle disgrazie dei miei connazionali e non credo che ci siano italiani che giocano contro, per cui il tuo commento, caro bucefalo, mi sembra fazioso. Anche perché criticare i pareri altrui a cose fatte mi sembra voler vincere facile. Più difficile è sbilanciarsi prima, magari sbagliando.

[@bucefalo85]

@@lupoellison7391 perché devi fare della tua visione una questione generale? Vuoi i riferimenti precisi? Ho letto gente che attaccava Bertelli per non avere le capacità dei grandi team, dicendo che Luna Rossa è un team medio buono ma non fatto per vincere, che arrangiano soluzioni improvvisate all'italiana senza professionalità. Il fatto che tu sia stato più "morbido" non vuol dire che queste critiche non siano state mosse da molti altri. I fatti hanno dimostrato altro e hanno zittito la stampa britannica. Qualcuno può levarsi qualche sassolino e a Max Sirena va riconosciuto il merito che ha. È inutile che la prendi sul personale. Basta aprire i commenti su tutti i social per leggere ciò di cui parlo con gente convinta che gli inglesi ci avrebbero sbattuto fuori 7 a 0. Più di qualcuno dovrebbe cospargersi il capo di cenere.

[@bucefalo85]

@@lupoellison7391 e per la cronaca io mi sono sempre sbilanciato dai tempi di barca 1 e confermato ciò che pensavo quando gli altri hanno copiato le soluzioni italiane. Certo che si può sbagliare pronostico ma gufare per il gusto di veder fallire gli altri porta a finire vittima della propria spocchia!

Hello and a big thank you, victories are also measured by the value of the opponents, Team Inios is a great team, so having won against a great team as well as American Magic was an honor, Italy invests a lot in the America's Cup, the Team Luna Rossa has already won the same cup called Louis Vuitton in 2000, our dream is to bring the 100 guineas cup back to Europe, after being called the America's Cup, it would be a great advantage for you English too if Italy wins, regatting in Europe would be a big advantage, with even more participants and more teams, Hi.

Adesso possiamo dirlo abbiamo vinto, la barca è nettamente superiore nelle condizioni di vento debole, ecco quindi la voglia a tutti i costi di farci regatare più tardi, quando le condizioni sarebbero cambiate, in realtà la regata è stata ben vista dalle tante barche in mare, un evento che si è potuto seguire bene anche in TV, onore anche ai vinti a cui è stata offerta pienamente la possibilità anche in termini di giorni per recuperare, ora dicano quello che vogliono ma per una volta ancora, si può dire, "SIAMO ORGOGLIOSI D'ESSERE ITALIANI" grazie a Luna Rossa.

We are always humiliated, but LUNA ROSSA has shown that it can win in the water, following and enforcing the regulations, now we only think about racing, with the utmost respect we have for our opponents and that we expect. LUNA ROSSA invests a lot in the American Cup, it deserves respect.

[@dynamo1796]

The approach LR has taken along with the COR nonsense shows they are a team without honour, a team willing to win at any cost and with any trick in the book. As Sir Ben says, all the antics LR pulled on shore shows just how little they care about the sport - they just want to get a win so big pappy Prada can actually stand for something.

[@newwave8078]

@@dynamo1796 Dear friend, I don't know if you are European or English the rules in the America's Cup are very precise and LUNA Rossa applied them, and rightly demanded that the regulation on regattas was applied, a regulation signed by all the teams, as regards the protest for the irregularity of Inios's boat, they were well-founded irregularities, otherwise they would not have received a warning, regarding covid 19, we Italians are hosting a world championship of alpine skiing, in full crisis but with all the anti covid 19 protocols, we hosted Three Formula 1 2020 GPs are allowed in our country, guaranteeing maximum safety, even if seriously affected by covids, our victims are many, 93,577 but perhaps more, yet with all the anti-covid rules we continue to play and organize events sports in maximum safety. There were many boats and a lot of public who attended the Prada Cap, the safety protocol was fully respected, we won with honesty and respect. These controversies are useless and damage the sporting spirit.

It's AC! You have to have a powerfull team on water and shark lawyers on shore! No mercy in AC - it is a competion of boats and rules, like Formula 1 - if you want to see only sport better choose monotype races, all contenders have same boat and sails, only umpires can judge - but you'll never see this incredible vessels - moreover in match race your goal is to beat, whatever it takes, your opponent, in fleet race you make your best for a good vmg and you care the others only when you approach the buoy... Part of the AC game is about the vantages that you can gain from little the playground set by the rules and the strategies to hide the potential of your boat and team

Simply they didn't have a good vmg, you can't do a close match if your opponent makes less distance to arrive to the gate. You try to catch wind somewhere else hoping in bad luck for your opponent. Also with this kind of vessels it can't be so close as conventional yachts: this boats have a virtual diamond zone, if you are in you get a penalty.

In my opinion, Ineos missed a big opportunity at the start of the final race. As soon as they realized Luna Rossa was penalized for jumping the start, they should have tacked back onto the same tack as Luna Rossa. This would have been a "free" tack in terms of distance lost and forced Luna Rossa to "really" get behind Ineos. Giving Ineos the chance to effectively control the race. By continuing to the opposite side of the course, effectively, allowed Luna Rossa to do their thing. With all advantage to Ineos being lost by the first cross. I think Sir Ben and Mr Scott would concede that in order to beat Luna Rossa in the prevailing conditions, they had to control the race as they did in race 6. By control I mean say on top of Luna Rossa, match race style. Anyway just an opinion, maybe there is something in the rules that prevents you from taking advantage of a penalized boat like this. Would love to hear comments from experienced sailors out there.

agree on tacking back to cover

In Italy it's said: whoever wins celebrates and whoever loses explains. It's a law of sport. Now it's up to the British to explain why they lost despite having great champions, an unlimited budget of money and arrogance. Today we Italians celebrate.

Well, it was 'interesting' about the speeds and such.....but it was hardly racing. Kinda like a 'fight' when only one guy is doing the hitting.

The 5 minute start is where it began and ended for me. Not like the old days when sail changes and wind shifts and small pressure spots made it truly a sailing match. Now the maybe awesome to see but it's just put the peddle down and See Ya Later. Very little strategy
