Ferrari Unveils 100-Foot Hypersail Foiling Monohull at Milan Design Week

The reveal signals Ferrari's push to apply its car engineering to record-seeking ocean sailing.

Overview

  • Ferrari’s Hypersail, presented Tuesday at Milan Design Week, debuted a Giallo Fly and Grigio Hypersail livery that ties the brand’s heritage yellow to exposed carbon surfaces.
  • Hypersail is a 100-foot ocean monohull designed to rise on flat foils using a control system derived from Ferrari’s automotive software and dynamics know-how.
  • The boat is built for energy self-sufficiency with integrated renewables, including about 100 square meters of solar panels targeted to deliver roughly 20 kilowatts of power.
  • Construction continues in Pisa with launch planned after summer not before September, structural tests on appendages, rudder, keel, and mast slated for October to December, and initial navigation expected in 2027.
  • Enrico Voltolini now leads the project after Giovanni Soldini’s early-April exit, working with designer Flavio Manzoni, naval architect Guillaume Verdier, and Ferrari’s tech leads as the team targets about 50 knots and eyes a future Jules Verne round‑the‑world attempt under 40 days.
