Today, in the events pavilion of the Milan Yachting Week – the Digital Boat Show we are going to discover one of the other secrets of the AC75 flying Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team: the so-called “double mainsail” (or “soft wing”), mounted on the 26 meters mast. To tell you how it works and why the two-membrane system is more performing than a traditional mainsail, we turned to the person who probably knows it better. Pietro Sibello, great sailor but above all … Luna Rossa’s randista! We will see how it is made, because there is no boom, where the team has “filed” to optimize the aerodynamics, and much more!
Good vision!
