RED MOON RISING

The Prada Challenge ‘Luna Rossa’, founded by fashion tycoon and America’s Cup patron Patrizio Bertelli, made the Match but came up against the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron’s Team New Zealand at arguably their prime. Led by Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth, with an all-star crew, the Kiwis showed boatspeed and racecraft of the highest order to retain the Cup with a 5-0 scoreline.
