- The final match of the Louis Vuitton Semi-Final was sailed today. It is now official that Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team will meet INEOS Britannia in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final, to decide who will be the Challenger for the 37th America's Cup. I spoke to James Spithill about the racing, and what is to come.
With LRPP's win, it was also time to farewell the amazing NYYC American Magic. I spoke to Andrew Campbell, Tom Slingsby and Terry Hutchinson. We are all good mates in this sport - but there always has to be a winner and a loser.
More tomorrow for the first day of Group B in the UniCredit Youth America's Cup.

Lovely interview, thanks !
As an Italian I just want to congratulate my American fraternal friends, because you fought until the last meter, as a Luna Rossa fan I can safely say that you made me "suffer" a lot, for this reason when we When I crossed the finish line I rejoiced and shouted like crazy, because in front of us we had a great team, great rivals, and let's face it, this was the real final of the Louis Vuitton Cup 2024 If only there had been "normal" conditions, but surely there will be other great challenges waiting for you, because you have shown what it means to never give up, you have been Really hard bones, American bad boys 😉😊, now I hope you cheer for us guys, because I have a dream unfortunately locked in a drawer since I was a child, finally bring the cup home, to Cagliari, and see The Final American Magic win the 2028 Louis Vuitton Cup by beating Team New Zealand in the final and then play the 2028 American's Cup final in Italy between Luna Rossa Vs American Magic, unfortunately it will be difficult to beat Ineos Britannia, and then in this case those who have always had us beaten, Emirates Team New Zealand, but I continue to dream since it costs nothing. I greet you with much affection, American brothers, bye!! 😉💪🏻
From the States, congrats to you and to the Italian Team. Well done. You guys deserved the win, and I wish you guys good luck going forward.👍
This is such a brutal event. I can't think of another sport where hundreds of people work for years and can be knocked out after just a week of competition. And their beautiful $100,000,000 boat is now effectively scrap.
Your comment Is so true and effective. Very difficult to descrive better what is America's Cup and what means losing during the cap
one thing about these boats and really the iacc boats is they dont have much of a life after the cup. 12 meters and the j class have had great lives after the cups. love these boats but i wish they could be run by private owners not just corporations
@@nicholaycalhoun1681 They're so high-tech that it takes a huge team just to keep them running - a bit like old F1 cars. And it takes weeks of simulator work and practice for a crew to keep them sailing, with the potential for the kind of catastrophic and dangerous crash we saw with Magic in Auckland.
So it's difficult to see how they could be widely used. Their main role, I think, will be practice racing against the next generation. Teams will want to know the relative performance of their most recent design.
But when they change the class spec, I suspect they will all be scrapped.
@@tullochgorum6323Yeah, look at Dogzilla and the AC72s. The only reason the 50s weren't scrapped is because of SailGP.
Well done Tom and team hopefully this group continues working together.
You have to feel for
the AM team, the AC ultimately ends with eviscerating loss for most participants and euphoria for one. There is no second.
Love that the interviewer wants Luna Rosa to win!
Both Australian...😉
Tommy your a Legend and you will take the Mug home next time Aussie Legend 💪👍
Wow lots of genuine feelings US you will get another chance and get the Holy Grail back✌️💪
Tom needs to be the leader of this program moving forward .
Dunno why but I feel Terry is the GOAT , and feel at some point in the next 3 he will win the cup, but LR as a boat and with Jimmy is just on target. Great AC37
I don't understand what was going on in this series. When American Magic was staying close to Luna Rossa then they held their own, they did not seem slow. But the moment Luna Rossa got any separation - they were pulling away massively straight away. 2 first races, where American Magic had a decent lead form the start - they should have won both those races by simply "controlling" the other boat by staying with them. Isn't it how this is done in this race format? So what was that about? Slingsby forgetting the rules of the game? Or not sailing right when sailing on his own (bad VMG)? Or not able to figure out the right side of the course for more wind EACH time he makes such decision?
Good observation. Plenty of people have questioned whether they had enough hydro from the recumbent cyclors. Perhaps they weren't confident they had the energy output to win a full on taking dual?
@@burtonsville Not sure. But I doubt American Magic could have built a system/roster for cyclors which ended up being a serious competitive disadvantage. Difficult to measure "performance" of a helmsman or a trimmer in any sort of meaningful way. But Cyclors? Their performance can easily be measured. They even show it during AC races, showing watts generated by each cyclor in real time.
I’ve been saying what let them down AM was the recumbent bikes the power out put is not as powerful as a cyclor design of their boat was sleek and slick
🙏 we see AM in an Americas cup finals.... this team arround Hutchinson is nice
Reclining cyclors were a big mistake, obviously not enough downward force over the pedals. Which was making them fall of the foils to often, doubt we will ever see them again.
The greatest Americans cup ever
AM Cylors were a weak point of the team design.
Definitely and overall the Italians have a nicely designed boat.
Can you elaborate? I haven’t seen any data from the prelims or semis to support the claim that the recumbent cyclor design was a weakness for them. I’ve heard it mentioned as an issue (mainly the commentators and @mozzysails) and am just curious if there’s data on it. I find it hard to believe the designers and engineers wouldn’t perform calculations or testing before proceeding with the design.
I’m no expert but I think AM opted for sleek and more streamlined aerodynamics while the other teams went for higher topsides and upright cyclors.
And AM looked to struggle in the power dept poss due to not as much hydraulic power from recumbent cyclors?
Am magic needs Peter Purling next one 👍👌
Tom slingsby is a natural racer, when they hit the front they couldnt seem to be able to out tack lunna rossa in a match race. Maybe not enough hydraulic pressure to go head to head tack after tack with the reclined cyclors.
Cyclors idea was good different. ..
Then next cup some adapting and developing it
All respect really for Slingsby, but it wasn't really THAT close as he repeats 10 times. However, AM is a hell of a great boat!
One had the feeling Luna Rossa was always going to get thru.
In any kind of decent wind they were simply out-dragged - as they were today. They were only competitive in light air.
@@tullochgorum6323 Light airs and flukey conditions where luck can come into it. Ineos Britannia verse Luna Rossa will be a real cracker of a final.
Fabio - I disagree. That was really, really close. I certainly had LRPP to win before the semi-final. But they took 3 races off you in a row. They led several earlier races, which they only lost by tiny margins. They made a few small handling errors that LRPP pounced on brilliantly. Respect to Luca - what a performance. But if Goodie had not got injured, they would have won.
@@charleswalters6064 Paul Goodison was a big loss for the team.
TOUGH …. There is no second
150 years without winning the cup?
Tommy your a Legend and you will take the Mug home next time Aussie Legend 💪👍
