Won Red Moon! At the weekend (Saturday February 20) we will finally return to the races and the remaining races of the Final of Prada Cup. Let’s summarize the previous episodes. The event’s commercial organizers, called ACE, were working with the New Zealand government to change the rules of the competition. Article A2.3 (b) of the Appendix to the Rules of the World Sailing Racing of Sailing America’s Cup is clear: if the final has not ended on February 24 with all races scheduled, then the fleet will win. moment will have an advantage. The problem is that ACE even intended to resume the competition on February 26, then postponing the start of the Copa América from March 6 to 13.. Reason? Wait for the lockdown alert level to change from 2 to 1, allowing the public to see the competition.
Red Moon, Challenger of Record of the Copa América, has been strongly opposed to such a hypothesis. Through a rough press release, the Italian consortium stated that there is no reason not to compete: For months a protocol has been developed that allows running in conditions of absolute safety even with an alert 2, although without the presence of spectators. It is clear that this entails serious financial losses for the organizers: and here, as you can guess, lies the whole kernel of the story.
With the law on her side, Luna Rossa could only win. In the early morning of New Zealand, in fact, a press release was revealed with which ACE raised the white flag, without exempting itself from trimming the now canonical accusations and offenses against the Prada Pirelli team. Tina Symmans’ words are eloquent and inelegant, Events of the President dell’America Cup: “It is a very disappointing situation. It is my responsibility to do everything possible to carry out the event in the best interests of the public and all interested parties. So with the current impasse, even though we don’t agree with the Challenger of Record, we want the race to end on the water.“Actually that’s what Luna Rossa wants too …
Symmans then continued: “Since Sunday we have worked very hard to give the Challenger of Record (Luna Rossa, ed) a chance to show some honor and respect towards this country (New Zealand, ed) and delay the Prada Cup until we have had a chance to return. . to alert level 1 and therefore everyone could benefit and have fun (referring to the public, ed)“,
Then a very hard attack, another one, against Patrizio Bertelli, the owner of Luna Rossa: “Clearly, the words of its leader Patrizio Bertelli have been forgotten, who at the opening press conference had spoken about how privileged we were all to compete in Auckland without particular Covid restrictions and that therefore they would have put commitment and responsibility so that the Prada Cup it was a great sporting event. This appeal fell on deaf ears and it is clear that for Luna Rossa the sole objective is to win the Prada Cup rather than to do good for a country that has worked so hard to organize this event.“.

At this point, the race will resume with the following restrictions. Racetracks B and C will not be used to avoid gatherings of people on the ground. There will be no public viewing opportunities like docking shows. A maximum of 100 people will be admitted to the town, who must wear a mask: the minimum recommended distance is two meters. All bars, cafes and restaurants can remain open in accordance with New Zealand law setting alert level 2. We recall that in New Zealand, currently, there are only 3 positive positive Covid cases nationwide...
In short, summing up, the organizers couldn’t help but bow to Luna Rossa. They asked for a change of regulation, without success. Nevertheless “The law is tough, but the lawThe ancient Romans said. If there is a law, it must be respected, not arbitrarily modified and according to one’s own economic interests.. Luna Rossa is basically portrayed as a ruthless and ruthless demon, but she has done nothing but stick by the rules. A possible lawsuit would have led to an early Challenger of Record victory, hence ACE’s decision to literally put his tail between his legs. A not inconsiderable political success for the Prada Team Pirelli, which at the same time has become a scorched earth around them. Let’s expect a ruthless war in the coming weeks by the New Zealanders.
