Italian Team Luna Rossa Announces Withdrawal From 35th America's Cup

Italian team Luna Rossa will not compete in the 35th America's Cup in Bermuda, after changes were made to boat sizes, according to the AP. The team announced it will withdraw from the America's Cup after teams "voted to reduce the size of boats to be sailed in the 2017 regatta in Bermuda." Luna Rossa said in a statement that "following a careful evaluation of the serious implications of this unprecedented initiative, Team Luna Rossa confirms that it will withdraw from the 35th America's Cup." America's Cup organizers said on Tuesday that a majority of teams favored the move from 62-foot (19m) catamarans to 48-foot (14.65m) boats (AP, 4/3).
