...well, my town anyway.
The America's Cup Challenge is in Naples, Italy.
For those passing through, or thinking of somewhere to visit over the next week or so you can do worse than coming to my back yard to see some fantastic racing. If last year was anything to go by (apart from the bad weather in places) it will be FANTASTIC. Flights from the UK via Easyjet, AirItalia, Lufthansa, BA and others are not expensive and there are plenty of great hotels in the city.
The programme of events is as follows - America’s Cup Challenge, April 16-21
