Three-time America’s Cup winner Peter Burling is now part of Luna Rossa’s challenge for the 38th edition of the storied sailing contest.
As Marine Industry News reports, the New Zealander has yet to be given a defined role with the Italian team, but it’s expected he will contribute to both technical development and sailing operations.
Burling helped Emirates Team New Zealand win the Auld Mug in 2017 and defend it in 2021 and 2024.
The 34-year-old left the team two months ago, transferring to their Italian rivals in what’s been described as a mutual agreement.
Burling is not the only Kiwi to make the leap to Luna Rossa, as Josh Junior was announced as signing with the team over the weekend. The New Zealand Herald has more on the story HERE.
