Fans cheer on the Cagliari seafront in Cagliari, Italy, on May 22, 2026, during the first day of the Louis Vuitton 38th America's Cup Preliminary Regatta Sardinia. The preliminary regatta in Sardinia, part of the 38th America's Cup and sponsored by Louis Vuitton, provides the first opportunity for teams to test their skills as they prepare for the event in Naples in 2027. The races take place in the Gulf of Cagliari, featuring fully equalized AC40 ''one-design'' yachts that can reach speeds exceeding 40 knots. (Photo by Mauro Ujetto/NurPhoto)
