America’s Cup World Series show: Artemis vola a Chicago

Chicago, USA- Lo show dell’America’s Cup che cerca il grande pubblico snobbando i gusti dei velisti over 40 trova una Super Sunday, una splendida domenica, a Chicago per l’esordio degli AC45 foiling sul Lago Michigan. Dopo le scuffie di venerdì nella practice race ed Eolo che si fa beffe della diretta TV di sabato, finalmente domenica le Louis Vuitton AC World Series offrono spettacolo ai circa 40.000 spettatori assiepati al race village del Navy Pier di Chicago. Nella tre giorni le presenze sono state calcolate in 200.000 con un migliaio di barche in acqua per seguire le “stadium race”.
