Overview

  • The Hypersail prototype is a 100-foot monohull that uses advanced foils to lift above the water surface for reduced drag.
  • It will generate all its propulsion and onboard power from solar panels, wind turbines and kinetic recovery systems without any fossil fuels.
  • Ferrari’s engineering teams are adapting aerodynamics and energy-management systems from its automotive division to optimize the yacht’s flight control.
  • The project has secured nine patents with six more under development as part of its research into novel materials and appendage designs.
  • Led by ocean-racing veteran Giovanni Soldini with design by Guillaume Verdier, Hypersail remains under construction at a confidential Italian facility for a planned 2026 rollout.
