Jet VI Sailboat by Fabio Federici

Among the world’s finest sail boats, there’s probably one more name that’s waiting to sail through the oceans before it’s counted among the best. Designed by the Millennium Yacht Design Awards winner Fabio Federici, the Jet VI is a hydrofoils moved by the force of the wind. The elegant and sinuous style is inspired by the shapes typical of the Biodesign, but given Fabio’s desire for innovation, this structure has to hold more distinctive features than visible. So, ensuring good speed even in low wind situations, the Jet VI uses the hull in Kevlar and carbon fiber for extreme lightness despite its massive size. The structure of the sail in appearance and design similar to a windsurf kind, has the main advantage of being stiffer than a conventional sail, making it easier to control. Equipped with hydrojets coupled with an electric motor, the Jet VI features better navigation and mooring in the harbor. While the project is still on the papers, there’s no info on pricing, but we hope to see it sailing soon!

Trident Sailboat Gains Efficiency With Aerodynamic And Hydrodynamic Differential

Sailboats have been a means of transportation for centuries now, but the latest innovations in boating have made them more light in weight and brisk in speed, allowing a green means of commutation for eco lovers. Conceived by Brazilian designer Thiago Porto, the “Trident” is a sailboat with an aerodynamic and hydrodynamic differential aiming to maximize performance by making use of wind energy. Offering a sustainable sail, the sailboat works, rather moves the same way as a Hydroptere and utilizes the wind surf to increase the efficiency as well as speed in a short stretch. Featuring a candle made of an aircraft wing, the Trident makes better use of the wind and reduces friction with water.

Volitan – A futuristic green sailboat promises uber-green sailing

Since we have been chasing most of the eco-friendly sail boats since some time now, its time to bring one more avant-garde green conceptual boat to your notice. Designed by Hakan Gürsu and Sözüm Doganof Turkish design firm Designnobis Studio, this lightweight, futuristic boat cuts the waters using solid sails, wind power and solar energy. Dubbed as Volitan, which literally means flying fish, this 105-foot water mammoth, is crafted from a composite of carbon fiber and epoxy resin and covered in carbon-foam lamination.
