Inside Ferrari Hypersail: how a 100-foot monohull will fly

Ferrari's plan to put a 100-foot offshore monohull on foils is one of the boldest projects in sailing, and it is usually kept well out of sight. In this new video from The Foil, published on 24 October 2026, Andy Rice goes inside the Hypersail build facility in Pisa to see it up close.

Rice talks to the people turning the concept into reality about foiling through tacks and gybes, taking twin-skin mainsail technology offshore, and how ideas move between Ferrari's road cars and ocean racing. It is well worth a look for anyone curious about how a boat like this might actually work.

Can Ferrari make a 100-foot offshore monohull fly around the world?

We head inside the restricted Ferrari Hypersail build facility in Pisa for a close look at one of sailing's most ambitious projects - and meet the people working to turn the concept into reality.

Andy Rice speaks with Enrico Voltolini, Marco Ribigini and Matteo Lanzavecchia about flying through tacks and gybes, taking twin-skin mainsail technology offshore, and transferring ideas between Ferrari's road cars and ocean racing.

With just one reef in the mainsail and a flight control system facing the demands of the open ocean, there is plenty still to prove. The simulations can only tell them so much. The real test comes with that first take-off.
