After Luna Rossa s victory over American Magic in the Prada Cup semifinals, co-helmsman Jimmy Spithill immediately turned his attention to the next task. Now Ineos, boys, he told the crew on board after eliminating the American challenge to book a date against the British.
Now, Spithill has turned his attention to Team New Zealand.
Yesterday, Luna Rossa closed out the Prada Cup final series, winning both races to take a comprehensive 7-1 win in the best-of-13 series and earning the right to challenge Team New Zealand in the America s Cup match next month.
