Supercar brand Ferrari has announced a radical new 100ft foiling monohull named Hypersail, which will be launched next year<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The Ferrari foiling yacht<\/a> project \u2013 named \u2018Hypersail\u2019 in reference to Ferrari\u2019s three-times Le Mans winning Hypercar \u2013 is being led by legendary Italian skipper Giovanni Soldini, with design by foiling wizard Guillaume Verdier.<\/p>\n

The Hypersail project will not only be the largest fully foiling monohull ever built, but is also designed to be the first yacht of its size to be entirely energy self-sufficient.<\/p>\n

The 100-footer will stabilise in flight on three points of contact: an innovative canting keel, a foil on the rudder and, alternately, one of two lateral foils. While the T-foils, with flaps, and rudder with elevator look reminiscent of the America\u2019s Cup<\/a> foilers, the AC75s<\/a>, the bulbous canting keel with elevator is unique (the keel on the foiling Maxi Flying Nikka<\/em><\/a>, the most similar design so far, does not have elevators).<\/p>\n

No details have been released about the rig and sailplan, but the drawings suggest a huge 40m high wingsail with stays on outriggers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis boat is absolutely innovative in every respect. We set the bar very high from the very start, with extremely ambitious goals in every area,\u201d said Soldini.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a flying monohull, designed to fly across the ocean, bringing together all the advantages of a multihull<\/a> \u2013 a lot of righting moment, stable flight even in large waves \u2013 combined with all the benefits of a flying monohull like an America\u2019s Cup yacht, which from an aerodynamic point of view is much more efficient. For the first time ever a monhohull is fitted with a foil on the keel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is to do something that has never been done before. It\u2019s about taking a leap of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n

The foiler will have no diesel engine, and the intention is that all the power required to run the control systems for the appendages, sails, as well as computers and instruments, will be generated autonomously while under sail using renewable energy sources of solar, wind and kinetic energy.<\/p>\n

The yacht is currently under construction at an undisclosed yard in Italy, and scheduled to launch in 2026.<\/p>\n

You might understandably mistake this futuristic craft for another America\u2019s Cup foiler. Yet, although the aesthetics may look similar, Flying\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
