The good news from the America’s Cup after the first day of Prada World Series races kicking off the America’s Cup events? The Americans are doing well, perhaps because their ship is called the Patriot, the name of a long-range surface-to-air guided missile. The boat led by Terry Hutchinson, skipper and strategist, and Kiwi helmsman Dean Barker in search of revenge after the first day closed with all the points, proving to be able to interpret each situation. Dean was the first in the world to pilot an America’s Cup boat, the New Zealand catamaran from the great defeat in San Francisco in 2013. The team landed it saving Grant Dalton, who was the real culprit, but then he was lucky enough to win in Bermuda. Patriot is the return to the New York Yacht Club Cup, the money is from three generous rich: Doug DeVos, Roger Penske (the one from Formula 1) and Phil Lotz. The ship reads Airbus, a brand that translates into simulators, flight control programs, aerodynamic studies. Others? Emirates Team New Zealand with Peter Burling at the helm goes fast and cuts the sound gaps – the Kiwis are still very strong sailors. They were able to build the second ship more calmly, using a longer design time. Our heroes? Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has made interesting decisions, however, it still seems to have not found its identity: Max Sirena and his people felt more secure. Helmsman pair Francesco Bruni and James Spithill maneuvered well in the race of the match, slashing a Ben Ainslie penalty with Britannia: the first sought by the referees between two AC75s. The latter are precisely these Englishmen: they have unlimited money from the sponsor INEOS, the support of the royal family, to run the operations of a winning man like Grant Simmer. When it is said that wealth is not everything.
