Ultimate expression of endurance

Ferrari has entered the world of sailing with their Hypersail project led by Italian yachtsman Giovanni Soldini that it said would blend racing tradition with technological innovation.

The world’s first 100-foot monohull ocean racing yacht with a foil on the keel has been designed by French naval architect Guillaume Verdier and is being built at an undisclosed location in Italy with a launch scheduled for 2026.

“It perfectly aligns with Ferrari’s tradition, drawing inspiration from our Hypercar, three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans,” said Ferrari Chairman John Elkann. “Designing a yacht for offshore racing is perhaps the ultimate expression of endurance.”

Soldini had raced and pursued records for Maserati on a VO70 and MOD70 from 2012 to 2024. – Full report
