Through the lens of Carlo Borlenghi

Born in Bellano on the eastern shores of Lake Como, Carlo Borlenghi began his extraordinary career as a photographer taking pictures of local regattas before scooping a contract with the magazine Uomo Mare Vogue and travelling the world. Today, Carlo is the go-to photographer for many of the world’s top sailing events and has covered every America’s Cup since 1983 when he was assigned to the Azzurra team for Italy’s first challenge.

Since that first campaign where he made an indelible impression, Carlo went on to work for Italia in Fremantle in 1987, Il Moro di Venezia in San Diego in 1992, and Luna Rossa in Auckland in 2000 and 2003. He was the Official Photographer of the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia in 2007 and then worked for Alinghi in Valencia in 2010 before returning to Luna Rossa in San Francisco in 2013. In recent Cup cycles he has worked for both Luna Rossa and the event, notably being the official photographer for the 36th America’s Cup in Auckland in 2021. – Full report
