Ferrari Hypersail: The Future of Ocean Racing Takes Flight
A new chapter in high-performance sailing driven by Ferrari innovation and sustainable design.
In a bold move that merges cutting-edge automotive engineering with elite ocean racing, Ferrari has unveiled the Hypersail project its first foray into the world of competitive sailing. Developed in collaboration with legendary navigator Giovanni Soldini and visionary yacht designer Guillaume Verdier, Hypersail represents a radical leap in marine design. The vessel is a full-foiling, zero-emission monohull powered by wind and solar energy, with no combustion engine onboard. With this, Ferrari positions itself not just as a carmaker, but as a pioneer of carbon-free, high-performance mobility across all terrains.
At the heart of Hypersail’s innovation lies a blend of Formula 1 precision and naval architecture. The boat features lightweight bio-composite materials, fully retractable foils, and an ultra-streamlined hull that allows it to glide above the water at remarkable speeds. Drawing inspiration from Ferrari’s race-tested technologies, the project reflects a deep commitment to performance, efficiency, and control. Even the onboard systems tracking wind shifts, sail tension, and energy flow mirror Ferrari’s approach to intelligent, adaptive engineering.
Sustainability sits at the core of Hypersail’s mission. Designed to compete in offshore ocean races, the vessel operates entirely without fossil fuels, relying on solar panels and hydrogenerators to produce all of its onboard energy. This self-sufficient system supports everything from navigation to crew systems, redefining what it means to race at the highest level without harming the planet. Ferrari’s entry into this field signals a broader ambition: bringing its heritage of excellence into alignment with the challenges of a changing world.
The launch of Hypersail marks a shift in how performance is measured not just by speed or endurance, but by innovation that respects both technology and nature. With its sleek silhouette, intelligent systems, and zero-emission powertrain, Hypersail carves a new identity for ocean racing. It introduces a vision of progress rooted not in excess, but in balance, precision, and responsibility.
