The PRADA Cup semi-finals will go down in history for two things – the sheer determination of the NYYC American Magic team of getting their boat PATRIOT back on the water in a record time, and the visibly-improved performance of the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team. See our visual report of the event with stunning pictures by Carlo Borlenghi, whose selection of beautiful images illustrate both sides of the story.
The Vendée Globe Race has kept us thrilled and on the edge of our seats from day one. After 81 days at sea Yannick Bestaven, the 48 year old French skipper of Maître Coq IV, is the overall winner of the ninth edition of the Race. He crossed the line in third place off Les Sables d’Olonne, France at 03hrs 19mins 46 secs early this morning. However, he takes the overall victory due to his compensation of 10 hours and 15 minutes for his role in the search and rescue of fellow competitor Kevin Escoffier. He finished ahead of Charlie Dalin by 2hrs 31mins 01secs and 6hrs 40mins 26secs ahead of Louis Burton.
New York Yacht Club American Magic re-launched PATRIOT after she capsized during a PRADA Cup Round Robin race on January 17. After nine days of intense boatbuilding and systems-work inside the team’s base, the AC75 returned to the Waitematā Harbor roughly 48 hours before her first PRADA Cup Semifinals match. American Magic will face Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli on Friday, January 29.
