Ferrari Hypersail targets Jules Verne Trophy record

Overview

Ferrari has unveiled progress on its Hypersail project, a 30.5-meter flying monohull designed by Guillaume Verdier to attempt the Jules Verne Trophy. The project aims to become the first monohull to break the record for the fastest non-stop circumnavigation of the globe, targeting a journey of under 40 days with an average speed of 29.5 knots.

Construction has reached a major milestone with the completion of the carbon fiber hull and the finalization of the foils, keel, and rudder. The vessel utilizes advanced materials, including carbon fiber for weight reduction and titanium reinforcement for high-stress components. To manage the boat's attitude, the team utilizes ‘Flight Control,’ an automated electronic system that adapts vehicle dynamics technology from Ferrari’s automotive engineering to make real-time micro-adjustments to stability and trim.

Ferrari has selected Livorno, Italy, as the project's operational hub, establishing a technical alliance with Azimut Yachts. This headquarters will include specialized laboratories, 3D printing facilities, and athletic preparation areas. Azimut Yachts will also develop a custom 4,000-horsepower towboat to assist with initial foiling trials.

Project leader Enrico Voltolini will be joined by a specialized crew including Giulia Conti, responsible for flight systems and automation, and Shannon Falcone, who will oversee maritime operations and safety. The crew will also assist in technical development by validating onboard data. Initial sailing trials are expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
