CEO Ernesto Bertarelli Takes Risks with New Alinghi Boat in Pursuit of America’s Cup Victory

Ernesto Bertarelli, the CEO of Alinghi, is on a mission to bring the America’s Cup back to Switzerland for the third time. With the next edition of the prestigious sailing competition set to take place in Barcelona, Bertarelli and his team have been hard at work designing a new boat that they believe will give them the edge over their competitors.

The christening of the sixth Alinghi boat in Barcelona was a special moment for Bertarelli and his team. The new boat, named “Boat-One,” features innovative design elements that set it apart from the competition. According to Bertarelli, the boat is more radical in shape and incorporates cutting-edge technologies that make it faster than its predecessors.

When asked about the advantages of “Boat-One,” Bertarelli highlighted the aggressive shape of the rear part of the AC-75 cupper, as well as the team’s willingness to push the boundaries of design. He emphasized the importance of taking risks in order to stay ahead in the highly competitive world of professional sailing.

As the team prepares for the upcoming regattas, Bertarelli remains actively involved in the training and decision-making process. Despite not being able to sail on board himself, he plays a crucial role in guiding the team towards success. With a focus on innovation and a commitment to pushing the limits, Bertarelli is confident that Alinghi has a strong chance of winning the America’s Cup once again.

With a team of talented Swiss sailors and a boat that promises to deliver top performance, Bertarelli’s dream of securing a third America’s Cup victory for Switzerland seems within reach. As the countdown to the regattas in Barcelona begins, all eyes will be on Alinghi and their quest for sailing glory.
