In particular, the team is responsible for the design, manufacturing and tests of an innovative and sustainable Moth prototype able to reach speeds up to 40 knots having the higher level of control possible; and yes, it's even harder than what it looks like.All of this is possible only thanks to the support that Politecnico di Milano University is providing, especially in its Design branch and to the more than 80 girls and boys that, dreaming of the America's Cup, are putting daylily their energy and passion in such a challenging project.
