New vessels review
Ferrari unveils world’s first flying yacht that’s fully energy self-sufficient Italian luxury sports car manufacturer,
Ferrari, has officially announced its entry into offshore sailing with a groundbreaking project called Hypersail, a 100-foot flying monohull yacht. The vessel is currently under construction at an undisclosed location in Italy and is expected to be launched in 2026.
The Hypersail yacht stands out as the world’s first ocean racing monohull of its
size, designed to be entirely energy self-sufficient. It will operate without any combustion engine onboard, using only solar, wind, and kinetic energy to power all its systems, including foil movement, rudder and keel control, and onboard electronics.
The yacht has been designed by acclaimed French naval architect Guillaume Verdier, known for his work on high-performance vessels. One of the most striking features of the yacht is its ability to “fly” above water by stabilising on three contact points.

Stena Futura successfully completes sea trials in China
Stena Line has announced that Stena Futura, the first of its new hybrid ferries destined for the Irish Sea, has successfully completed its sea trials. The completion of the sea trials is a significant milestone in the build of Stena Futura and the vessel is on schedule to enter service on the Belfast-Heysham route in late summer.
The tests include areas such as engine performance and
endurance, fuel consumption, navigation and radio equipment, emergency systems, speed tests, manoeuvrability, engine and thruster tests as well as safety tests. Once operational, Stena Futura and sister ship Stena Connecta will enhance freight capacity by 40% on the Belfast-Heysham route in response to an increase in customer demand for services between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
