Italian America's Cup Challenger, Luna Rossa sailed for its fourth day of the 2027 America's Cup cycle, from the team's base in Cagliari, Sardinia.

Unfortunately, no report was available from the Recon Team, and Maria Giubilei wasn't revealing too much either. She is a top Nacra 17 crew and was a trimmer on the Italian AC40 which won the Puig Women's America's Cup in Barcelona.
