Moro di Venezia
Il Moro di Venezia is a historic America’s Cup yacht that symbolizes Ravenna’s maritime heritage. Launched in 1991, it was the first Italian challenger in the America’s Cup, sparking national pride and interest in competitive sailing. The yacht’s legacy is celebrated in Ravenna, where Il Moro di Venezia III is displayed as a monument to the city’s rich nautical history.
The boat was owned by Italian entrepreneur Raul Gardini, who played a pivotal role in its creation and participation in international sailing competitions. Under the guidance of American skipper Paul Cayard, the team achieved significant milestones, including winning the 1991 IACC World Championship. Today, Il Moro di Venezia III is moored near Ravenna’s historic center, serving as a testament to the city’s enduring connection to the sea.
Visitors can view the yacht at its dock in the Darsena area, where it stands as a monument to Ravenna’s maritime identity.
