About the shot :

Brutal Nosedive The Unicredit Youth America's Cup has been sailed on AC40 foiling monohulls in windy and wavy conditions and the young sailors have been under pressure to sail on the edge to avoid catastrophic nosedives. The winning crew of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Youth Team led by Marco Gradoni experienced this one but succeed to manage the brutality of the moment to avoid a complete stop and kept on racing.
