Among the Italian brands of excellence alongside Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is WRS, manufacturer of the windscreens used on the AC75 for the 37th America's Cup.
The screens, built with highly resistant materials and with the same technology applied to World Championship motorcycles, in one single piece, guarantee excellent "transmittance" (ability to let light through) and visibility. Their function is to protect the trimmers, allowing them to have a perfect view and simultaneously maintain an aerodynamic position.
The WRS company, a well-known name in the MotoGP circuit, was chosen by Skipper and Team Director Max Sirena for its products that combine meticulous craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technology and materials: «The America's Cup AC75 and motorcycles are two very different ‘vehicles’, especially in terms of the environment in which they operate. A windscreen built to protect from wind and seawater at high speeds is not easy to make. We approached WRS with the certainty that they would understand our specific needs. Once our demands were identified, in fact, WRS designed a tailor-made product for Luna Rossa of the highest quality and reliability, that will certainly be of great help during the races of the 37th America's Cup».
«After years of passion and dedication in the production of motorcycle windscreens, we are excited and proud to announce our debut in the wonderful world of sailing. Being chosen as the official supplier for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli is a great honor for us. We put our heart and soul into the development of our first America's Cup screen, combining our experience with cutting-edge technology. We hope that our contribution will support the team in its challenge and we are grateful for the opportunity to be part of this extraordinary adventure», said Nicolas Zavoli, CEO of WRS.
