Nine of the best racing crews in the world will descend on Naples, Italy this month for the final event in the 2012-13 America’s Cup World Series.
The Italian team, Luna Rossa Challenge, will again be the center of the attention, as it was last year, when the team made a stunning debut in Naples.
“The most beautiful memory from last year’s event in Naples is the Neapolitans, their warmth and support not only for our team, but for the event itself,” said Luna Rossa skipper Max Sirena. “Still today the image of the crowd spread all over the sea-front and on the surrounding hills remains the symbol of last year’s event. I trust that the crowd will be even larger this year, and that it will support us even stronger.
The America’s Cup defending champion, ORACLE TEAM USA, currently tops the table and is looking to repeat its win in the inaugural America’s Cup World Series. Young Tom Slingsby will have the responsibility of bringing home top spot as he takes over the skipper role from Jimmy Spithill for the Naples regatta.
