Italia I / I-7
Consorcio Italia was supported by the fashion
company GUCCI.
The team had sufficient money to buy the
British Victory 83 (now I-6) and to build 2
additional 12m yachts, called Italia II / I-9 and
Itallia I / I-7.
Italia II fell after her launch from the lift and
was severely damaged.
She has been repaired too late for a longer
testing period and Italia I / I-7 was nominated
as challenger.
She reached the remarkable ranking 7
compared with the poor result of Azzurra III.
Consorcio Italia was supported by the fashion
company GUCCI.
