Soaring bows, sterns high on the water, tangons, fractional spinnakers, huge genoas, mainsails without a luff: we have returned to several eras ago, to one of the most glorious periods in yachting, that of the 12-meter international tonnage. Taking place right now in Newport, Rhode Island (USA), is the world championship of this wonderful class that has written a piece of America’s Cup and sailing history. To have nostalgia for this world, despite the fact that “his” Cup has taken a completely different direction, always be the patron of Team Prada Patrizio Bertelli, who has decided to participate in the event even with two boats, the Australian Kookaburra II and Nyala, a 1938 Olin Stephens design. They were entrusted to two notable helmsmen: Torben Grael and Mauro Pelaschier , respectively.
