Translating Maranello’s hypercar DNA into maritime hydrofoils, the Italian powerhouse introduces real-time electronic flight control, carbon-titanium architecture, and over 20 new patents.
When elite automotive engineering escapes the asphalt, the results are rarely ordinary. Ferrari is officially taking its racing obsession to open water with Hypersail, a monumental 100-foot racing monohull currently entering its final construction phase with its carbon hull fully painted and ready for integration.
Built to literally fly across the ocean, the vessel relies on a sophisticated network of hydrofoil side-wings, a movable-surface keel foil, and an adjustable rudder flap. Everything is governed by Flight Control—an automated electronic system that continuously calculates wind, wave height, speed, and heel angle in real time. Rather than replacing human strategy, the tech handles micro-adjustments to maximize speed and stability, leaving tactical decisions to the crew.
Developed entirely in-house at Maranello and spawning over 20 new patents—including Winch by Wire tech and renewable energy integration—Hypersail proves that when automotive obsession meets ocean navigation, conventional physics no longer apply.
