Playing the long game
Dear Recipient Name
As a Brit I m of course sad that INEOS TEAM UK didn t progress to the America s Cup match. I d have loved to see Ben Ainslie and Giles Scott square up against Pete Burling, Blair Tuke and the rest of Emirates Team New Zealand, but it wasn t to be.
Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team fully deserve their win. They sailed beautifully, won the majority of the starts, and their AC75 was simply faster than Britannia. They celebrated on Sunday, but it s straight back to work again for the team as they have the daunting task of taking on a Kiwi team which is rumoured to be extraordinarily fast. 62 knots is the figure which is talked about as their top speed recorded so far, with their main foils being 30% smaller than the Italians. For the sake of sailing let s hope it s not a clean sweep.
