It’s the oldest international sporting race in the world. It’s cutthroat and dangerous—one mistake, one distraction, and loss is inevitable. It’s the Holy Grail for sailors. Yes, it’s the legendary America’s Cup. Aficionados flock to watch those booming boats ripping across the water at almost impossible speeds—sometimes veering on 50 knots. This year, Unesco and one of the race’s finest teams, the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, have joined forces with the World’s Cup to present a large-scale exhibition on the banks of Port Olímpic. It’s an immersive environment that highlights the sailboat’s role in preserving marine life—a win for all concerned. —Elena Clavarino
