SUSTAINABILITY

A "Sustainability Kit" for the Sailing Schools 

Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team supports the initiative “Find the Bearings”, the sailing project promoted by FIV (Italian Sailing Federation) and sailing schools.
Among the activities planned there are days dedicated to the environment. A “Sustainability Kit”, created in collaboration with One Ocean Foundation, has been delivered to all the Italian sailing clubs. Each kit includes, together with guidelines for the correct behaviour to safeguard the sea, a datasheet to be filled during the scheduled beach clean- up, in order to monitor the amount and type of waste and identify the coastal areas at highest risk.

Each component is studied with care, down to the very last detail, and the equipment used by the athletes who sail on the revolutionary AC 75 “Luna Rossa” is no exception.
