Azimut Yachts and Ferrari
A rather unusual project has just been announced between Azimut and Ferrari’s division responsible for developing a FOIL system.
Azimut will modify its Azimut 72 Fly model so that it can carry out tests of the new FOIL. This Azimut will be used to tow the prototype developed by Ferrari. To do this, the Azimut yacht’s weight will be significantly reduced thanks to carbon fiber (minus 6 tonnes) and the engine power will be almost doubled.
The use of FOIL makes it possible to improve a boat’s speed thanks to the significant reduction in drag.
The Ferrari Hypersail is a revolutionary 100-foot racing monohull prototype entirely designed to fly above the ocean thanks to foils.
Of course, we will be following this development closely for you.
