BoatOne arrives in Naples. Back in Black!

Tudor Team Alinghi's AC75, BoatOne, has arrived at the Team's new base in Bagnoli, Naples, as preparations continue for the 38th America's Cup in 2027.

Following modifications in Genoa to comply with the revised AC75 class rules, BoatOne began its journey south on Saturday night. Travelling under cover of darkness due to its exceptional dimensions, the convoy made a daytime stop in Montepulciano before continuing to Naples the following night, arriving at the team's new base at approximately 05:30 on Monday morning.

Team members were there to welcome the yacht, which was carefully moved into the shed by 09:00. Once safely inside, the protective wrapping came off, revealing BoatOne's new black livery. For now, the rest remains under wraps.

Having successfully completed structural testing earlier this year, BoatOne will now undergo final preparations. The commissioning process will include checks of the yacht's systems and equipment ahead of its return to the water.

The Team is targeting its first sail in December, with the initial sessions focused on testing the yacht and refining onboard procedures.
