The magic of the America's Cup will be coming to
Southern Italy next year, when the some of the opening
Acts of the 32nd America's Cup are sailed in the
Mediterranean waters off the western tip of Sicily.
The America's Cup roadshow will arrive in Trapani
in late September.
This will be the first America's Cup event to ever
be held in Italy. Although the Cup hasn't been sailed
in Italy before, the country has a strong recent
history in the event, winning the Louis Vuitton
Cup and sailing against the Defender in the Match
in 1992 and 2000. There are two Italian teams challenging
for the 32nd America's Cup.
Full details of the 2005 sailing programme will
be released shortly (see the provisional schedule
on the left).
