There are plenty of Italians in the America's Cup and some of them hold top positions, such as Silvio Arrivabene, Alinghi Red Bull Racing's co-general manager. Sailor and engineer, he was already part of the Swiss team during the Deed of Gift race in the 33rd America's Cup, the challenge between the catamaran Alinghi and the trimaran Oracle. Once Ernesto Bertarelli decided to return 'to the Cup', he approached him to form Alinghi Red Bull Racing's new technical and design team. Ahead of the departure for the Preliminary Regatta in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Pressmare.it was welcomed at the team's base in Barcelona, where Silvio shared with Giuliano Luzzatto some of the technical and strategic choices in view of the 37th America's Cup participation.
