Ruggero Tita talks Naples, Burling and the fight for an AC75 seat

Fresh off Luna Rossa's victory at the AC40 preliminary regatta in Cagliari, helmsman Ruggero Tita sits down with Andy Rice to reflect on an intense weekend of racing and what lies ahead. In a wide-ranging interview, Tita speaks about the warmth and passion of the Italian sailing community, what it means to have Peter Burling join the team, and the unique challenges of hosting the 2027 America's Cup in Naples. Home advantage, he says, comes with real pressure. He also opens up about the fierce internal competition for a spot on the AC75, the team's approach to racing as two independent squads, and his personal ambitions beyond the Cup, including a potential return to the Nacra 17 for the LA 2028 Olympics.
