TRIESTE, Italy, Oct 9, 2025 – ESTECO has been named official supplier of Team Luna Rossa for the 38th America’s Cup. This agreement further reinforces a long-lasting collaboration with Italy’s leading sailing team, which started in 2014.
“We are delighted to renew our partnership with ESTECO, an Italian company internationally recognized for the quality of its cutting-edge technological solutions. Thanks to its advanced software systems, we will have the best tools at our disposal to optimize our boat ahead of the 38th America’s Cup.” commented, Gilberto Nobili, Technology & Operations Director, Luna Rossa.
We’ll be supplying the team with our software solutions for simulation process automation, design optimization, and simulation process and data management. Specifically, Luna Rossa will be relying on modeFRONTIER to enhance the boat’s performance in compliance with the regulations of the America’s Cup. VOLTA instead will be key to make the design process a collaborative engineering experience, by extending MDO workflows to a web-based framework and ensuring simulation data traceability, sharing, and reuse.
“The America’s Cup is more than just a sailing competition; it’s a major technology race that drives innovation in yacht design. Along with an impressive roster of top-level sailors, Luna Rossa counts on a world-class team of engineers and designers. These experts require the most advanced digital engineering tools available, and we are proud to provide them with modeFRONTIER and VOLTA, which are essential for their work.” commented, Carlo Poloni, President, ESTECO.
In the past, modeFRONTIER played a key role in designing the AC75 monohull and in optimizing the navigation trajectories. With the help of our software, Luna Rossa engineers were able to design the shape of the hull in just three months. For the 2024 edition of America’s Cup they could speed up the design space exploration phase using state-of-the-art algorithms available in ESTECO Technology.
