Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team has won the Youth America's Cup thanks to the victory achieved by the crew composed of Marco Gradoni, Gianluigi Ugolini (helmsmen), Federico Colaninno and Rocco Alekos Falcone (trimmers). The Italians beat the Americans of American Magic in the final in the "dry" trial held today before the trials scheduled for the America's Cup proper, which pits Luna Rossa against the British of Ineos in the final. The victory of the young Italians was extraordinary, confirming the excellent moment of Italian sailing, which especially thanks to the great growth of the youth sectors is becoming a real power at the international level. Marco Gradoni, 20 years old, confirmed that he is a true champion capable of unprecedented feats in the youth classes and on his way to an equally luminous career in the sailing of the "big boys". But the whole blue crew showed great qualities, even the other helmsman Ugolini is already a celebrity among the very young people who get into sailing in the clubs of the boot. As far as the America's Cup races are concerned, the first day ended in a tie: the first race was clearly won by Luna Rossa, while in the second race the British won, led by 47-year-old Sir Ben Ainslie, who in the morning saw at work what could become his heir, namely Marco Gradoni. From the technical point of view, it was understood that this America's Cup will be decided mainly in the starts being completely similar to the performances of the two formidable crews. The trials of the youngsters were contested on Ac40s, flying boats entirely similar to the larger Ac75s on which the America's Cup is contested.
