forza times four

The Italian C-Class program Challenge Italia is already finishing off the first of an anticipated four-boat campaign to take the Little America’s Cup off of Fred Eaton’s Toronto-based team.

Italia is led by former AC helmsman Francesco Bruni, and they’ve got some serious technological help on their side – they’ll need it judging by the silence from the RCYC; when Fred and Magnus are quiet, they’re usually up to something, and with the 2013 Little AC just around the corner, it’s bound to be something good. This shot from Farevela shows boat and wing no. 1; look for sailing shots soon!
