Francesco De Angelis, James Spithill, Torben Grael and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job, up now!!!!
If we win the Louis Vitton Cup, the mace race with Alinghi will be a REAL challenge, I think Alinghi is a very strong boat/team.
We are going to watch very interesting match races from now on

Stay safe out there

Now Luna Rossa needs to win the finals of the Louis Vuitton (or Desafio needs to beat the Kiwis wich is not very probable) to be sure to keep the Cup in Europe

Well, I was wrong! Luna Rossa beat us fair and square. I have a bunch of friends on the team and its great to see them step up and come through with a great win. I am pretty bummed we lost. Been working hard for the last years to get to the cup. On the bright side, I am finally free from work and can jump more and more and more!!!!

I have worked with the team for the past cup and this one. I am on the shore crew taking care of all the deck hardware and winch systems. I have helped build the last 4 boats and also train with them on the B boat sometimes.

I'd love to try your job!!

What happened to you out there.
You appeared unbeatable during Round Robin 1 and 2 and then?
Do you think Luna Rossa was hiding and came out with new stuff on the boat just for the semifinals?

yeah let's do a job exchange for a couple of days...

Luna Rossa is a mighty ship with a great crew (as all of the engaged boats IMO), but some of them were above the rest.

Oracle, Luna Rossa, New Zealand are really the top 3, Desafio, the Swedes, Malscalzone were very good too, and great surprises with Shosholoza specially, and the Chinese who beat Oracle.

The French didn't impress me. They were so arrogant at the last edition, and I am so stubborn.
