Prefazione di Sir Peter Blake al libro "Luna Rossa" sulla 30^ America's Cup (2000) La Coppa America è un trofeo molto ambito, ma che di rado ha cambiato mano in 150 anni. Questo non è uno sport per deboli di cuore. Non è impresa da prendere alla leggera o per capriccio. É una lotta tra velisti di Yacht Club sparsi nel mondo che vogliono disperatamente la stessa cosa: mettere le mani sulla Coppa. Il prestigio per il vincitore vale più di qualsiasi altro riconoscimento sportivo. É proprio vincere l’invincibile e fare l’impossibile che affascina uomini di mare, sognatori e miliardari. Ma la vittoria non arriva facilmente. Anzi, il più delle volte non arriva affatto. L’unico modo per vincere è continuare a partecipare, continuare a tornare, una volta dopo l’altra, con l’intimo convincimento di potercela fare. Esitare dopo il primo tentativo non fa parte delle regole del gioco. Ci vogliono persone straordinarie, con una motivazione ferrea, grande esperienza, attenzione per i particolari e dedizione incondizionata.

    Risultati 16-21 giugno 2005 DOMANI AL VIA I VALENCIA LOUIS VUITTON ACTS 4&5 DELLA 32MA AMERICA’S CUP. Valencia, 15 giugno 2005 – La stagione 2005 della 32ma America’s Cup inizia domani con la prima regata del Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 4. Come da tradizione alla vigilia delle regate, c’è stata la conferenza stampa di apertura con gli skipper dei 12 team in gara per la 32ma America’s Cup. Molta serenità da parte del Defender Alinghi, rappresentato da Peter Holmberg, che giudica la rosa dei concorrenti competitiva e preparata, aspettandosi regate combattute ed un bellissimo spettacolo sull’acqua. Anche Francesco De Angelis, team leader di Luna Rossa Challenge, si dichiara soddisfatto del suo nuovo team internazionale, uno di quelli che ha trascorso più tempo a Valencia, in test e allenamenti. “Sembra un campo di regata facile e stabile come condizioni; in realtà nell’arco della stessa giornata il tempo cambia moltissimo e ci sono insidiosi salti di vento”. Vasco Vascotto tattico di Mascalzone Latino Capitalia Team, è allegro e divertente come sempre ma non nasconde una “certa tensione all’idea di scendere in acqua per l’America’s Cup”. All’inizio di questi Act vedremo quasi sicuramente Hamish Pepper alla ruota nella fase di prepartenza sostituito immediatamente dopo da Flavio Favini, uno dei migliori timonieri del nostro paese. Iain Percy, il fuoriclasse inglese scelto da + 39 per timonare ITA 59 è consapevole di avere ancora da imparare ma è contemporaneamente certo di aver fatto passi da gigante rispetto all’anno passato e sa di poter contare su un pool di olimpionici bravi, motivati e decisi a farsi rispettare anche in America’s Cup.
