Francesco “Checco” Bruni, one of the strongest Italian sailors, but above all the helmsman (or rather, co-helmsman) of Luna Rossa. Here is what Checco told us, in connection from Auckland, in the events pavilion of the Milan Yachting Week – the Digital Boat Show.
We started from afar, with him: from his “first steps” in the waters of Palermo, in a family with sailing in blood. “My family has been a family of sailors since the Stone Age,” he told us. The Bruni we don’t know: the relationship with his brothers, his sons, the Doyle sailmaker, the moth… And then the America’s Cup with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team, the relationship with the rival/companion at the helm Jimmy Spithill. A long chat. An unmissable interview.
