Ferrari’s Quest to Conquer the Oceans!

On the occasion of Milan Design Week, Ferrari took a historic step by unveiling the livery of the Hypersail.
This 100-foot monohull is a true laboratory of innovation. It marks Ferrari’s official entry into the world of high-performance sailing. A fusion of cutting-edge automotive engineering and avant-garde naval architecture.
The project was born from the collaboration between the Ferrari Design Studio and naval architect Guillaume Verdier. The Hypersail transcends mere aesthetics. Every curve results from a rigorous interaction between aerodynamics and hydrodynamics. The streamlined silhouette pays homage to the proportions of the Monza SP1/SP2. The bridge’s superstructure, on the other hand, is inspired by the 499P, the hypercar that won the last three editions of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The innovation lies in the technical details. “Walkable” solar panels have been integrated into the hull and deck, optimizing energy recovery without hindering crew movements. According to Matteo Lanzavecchia, CTO of the project, Ferrari’s expertise in automotive control systems was crucial in mastering foil technology (flying over water).
The “Giallo Fly” Livery: A Reinvented Legacy
The chromatic choice of the livery highlights the duality of Ferrari’s DNA. The hull features Grigio Hypersail, a grey variant that showcases the carbon fiber, while the Giallo Fly accentuates the lines of the hull and the foils. This iconic yellow, considered the “second soul” of the brand, creates a direct semantic link with the vessel’s ability to “fly” above the waves.
