Luna Rossa has released its "Cagliari Update – October 2026", a short video from the Italian challenger's base that looks at what the team has been doing since returning from the Preliminary Regatta in Naples.

It's a quick look behind the scenes at a team balancing America's Cup preparation with a busy month of public events, and worth a few minutes for anyone following the road to the 38th America's Cup in 2027.

One campaign, many challenges

Having returned to Cagliari following its success at the Preliminary Regatta in Naples, Luna Rossa immediately resumed preparations for the 38th America's Cup in 2027, focusing on two key areas: the development of the AC75 and training sessions for the youth and women's crews aboard the AC40s.

Alongside its preparations for the next Cup, Luna Rossa took part in several initiatives. The month began with the Festival dello Sport in Trento, where a delegation from the team shared their experiences, discussing resilience and overcoming challenges. Activities continued with the Ocean&Climate Village, the travelling exhibition dedicated to science communication and raising awareness of ocean conservation, hosted at the Luna Rossa base in Cagliari.

Julie (#65) and I have officially completed our first Zephyr regatta: the North Island Championship at Lake Taupo Yacht Club. Two consecutive days of racing, 27 entries, and enough emotional activity to require a small lie-down and possibly a government enquiry.
