Ferrari ventures into sailing with high-tech launch

Ferrari will venture into the world of sailing with a Hypersail project led by Italian yachtsman Giovanni Soldini that would “blend racing tradition with technological innovation,” ESPN reported. The world’s first 100-foot monohull ocean racing yacht with a foil on the keel was 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,” Ferrari Chairman John Elkann said. “Designing a yacht for offshore racing is perhaps the ultimate expression of endurance.”
