eXplorius - Hydro Foil Sailing Yacht

The eXplorius Sailing Yacht is an exciting and innovative transportation concept which was awarded with the 1st prize of the Pininfarina Design Award. As a progressive mobility concept, the sailing yacht "eXplorius" introduces the Hydro-Foil technology to the sailing yacht class and takes an innovative approach to the traditional sailing yacht field (if the theory is right, then it could revolutionise sailing as we know it).
With wind speeds exceeding 10 kn, the underwater wings lift the hull of the eXplorius yacht out of water, reducing friction and displacement to a minimum. Gliding over the waves at sailing speeds of up to 32 kn, this yacht makes transatlantic trips for two to six "maritime jetsetters" possible. (Source: www.freidling.com/explorius.html...)
