Luna Rossa has published a new video profile of Maria Giubilei, filmed after her win at the Naples Preliminary Regatta with the team's senior squad. It's an unhurried, personal look at a sailor who is aiming at both the America's Cup and the Olympics.

It's worth a few minutes if you follow the Italian challenge or Nacra 17 sailing. Giubilei talks about what keeps her motivated and how she holds on to her enthusiasm when the programme gets tough.

From sailing holidays with her father in Anzio to her victories in the Nacra 17 alongside Gianluigi Ugolini, and her nomination for the 2026 Female Rolex World Sailor of the Year award, Maria Giubilei has never lost her enthusiasm.

Following her victory at the Naples Preliminary Regatta with Luna Rossa's senior team, we sat down with her to find out what drives her in this campaign and how she manages to maintain the same energy even during the most challenging moments, while balancing her preparations for the 38th America's Cup with those for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

In italiano:

Dalle vacanze in barca con suo padre ad Anzio alle vittorie in Nacra 17 insieme a Gianluigi Ugolini, fino alla candidatura al Female Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2026: Maria Giubilei non ha mai perso il suo entusiasmo.

Dopo la vittoria alla Regata Preliminare di Napoli con il team senior di Luna Rossa, l'abbiamo incontrata per scoprire cosa la motiva in questa campagna e come riesce a mantenere lo stesso entusiasmo anche nei momenti più impegnativi, conciliando la preparazione per la 38^ America's Cup con quella per le Olimpiadi di Los Angeles 2028.
