ITA-99 continues intensive training in Valencia

There is no time to waste. With just two months left till the Louis Vuitton Cup, Mascalzone Latino Capitalia Team sail their two new boats, ITA-90 and ITA-99, trying to gain a competitive edge every day.

According to Mauro Pelaschier, coach of the Italian America's Cup challenger, every hour you spend on the water testing the two boats and doing something new will turn into a better result. As a result, the team will try to "steal" every available moment and carry out their tests, helped in addition by the surprisingly very good wind conditions that have been prevailing during the last few weeks.
