High-Seas Velocity: Ferrari Hypersail Partners with Azimut Yachts
Ferrari Hypersail has officially joined forces with Italian yachtmaker Azimut Yachts, uniting motorsport engineering with cutting-edge naval architecture. The partnership establishes a strategic operational hub at Azimut’s facilities in Livorno, Italy, providing the high-performance sailing project with a dedicated home base for ground logistics, technical development, and offshore field testing. Check out the full details at Ferrari.
Central to this collaboration is a custom-modified Azimut Fly 72, engineered specifically to serve as the team’s high-speed chase and support vessel. Designed to assist the Hypersail prototype during early flight trials, the modified yacht supports take-off dynamics, manages towing protocols, and monitors foiling telemetry before the racing boat's full rig and sails are integrated.
Inside, the Fly 72's layout has been reconfigured with specialized workstations to handle real-time data analysis during intense open-water sessions. As the racing program matures, the vessel will seamlessly transition between an agile technical command center and an elevated hospitality venue for VIP guests, blending Maranello's competitive DNA with Azimut's refined maritime craftsmanship.
