Ferrari Hypersail solar racing boat

Overview

In early July 2026, Ferrari announced that its new Hypersail racing boat would operate entirely on self‑generated renewable energy. By early August, the project had progressed to detailed construction milestones: the 30‑metre carbon‑fiber monohull is near completion near Pisa, with painting and deck work finished, the mast en route from New Zealand, sails arriving in Genoa, and appendages slated for October. The vessel is designed to reach speeds near 100 km/h using onboard solar panels for full energy self‑sufficiency and will be launched in the Tyrrhenian Sea in spring 2027, crewed by 8‑12 sailors living in lightweight accommodations. The effort serves both as a high‑performance racing platform and a test‑bed for technologies Ferrari may later apply to its road cars.
