16 Jan 2012 -- The Italian team Luna Rossa Challenge 2013 launched and sailed its AC45 for the first time in Auckland on Monday. Luna Rossa has a long, proud history in the modern era of the America's Cup, winning the Louis Vuitton Cup in its first challenge in 2000, and reaching the semi finals in 2003 and the finals in 2007.
In both New Zealand editions of the Cup, the Italian team was very popular with locals, bringing its particular brand of style and flair to the Louis Vuitton Cup, with great success.
