Ferrari Hypersail Unveiled - 100ft fully foiling monohull monohull speed machine

Ferrari today unveils its new Ferrari Hypersail project, an unprecedented sporting challenge in the world of sailing that blends racing tradition with technological innovation. The name Hypersail honours Ferrari’s racing heritage and its Hypercars, the ultimate expression of performance in the realm of endurance. Led by Team Principal Giovanni Soldini, Hypersail aims to establish an outstanding research and development platform focused on offshore sailing. To explore new frontiers in technology and innovation, the project draws upon the expertise of the Ferrari team, which, in close collaboration with specialised nautical experts, is directly involved in the entire cycle of conception, engineering, and testing. The yacht, designed by French naval architect Guillaume Verdier, also represents a great nautical achievement: a groundbreaking 100-foot flying ocean racing monohull prototype that will stabilise its flight on three points of contact. Verdier’s most notable innovation is the use of a canting keel as the support for one of the foils, with the other two contact points being a foil on the rudder and, alternately, the two lateral foils. The 100-foot yacht will also be the first of its size in the world to be entirely energy self-sufficient. Currently under construction in Italy, the yacht is scheduled to launch in 2026, after which it will undergo its initial sea trials.
