An unprecedented convergence of expertise, destined to glide across the water like a swift bird, admired for its elegance as well. In the formal context of Maranello\u2019s first offshore venture\u2014an extraordinary debut aimed at infusing nautical competition with automotive excellence\u2014the technical expertise of two key corporate divisions comes together: Team Tech (led by Matteo Lanzavecchia and Marco Guglielmo Ribigini) and the Design Studio (under the direction of Flavio Manzoni for over fifteen years). Joining this team is naval architect Guillaume Verdier.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The result is a sleek, tapered monohull sailboat, painted in the evocative Fly Yellow hue to symbolize both tradition\u2014since the name derives from the 1964 275 GTB\u2014and the ultra-contemporary act of rising from the sea\u2019s surface. The sensual profile of the hull is, of course, shaped by the invisible aerodynamic and hydrodynamic demands of ocean crossings. \u201cHypersail represented an unexpected opportunity for us, a perfect challenging goal to expand our creative exploration,\u201d Manzoni says with satisfaction. He is keen to emphasize that, just as with cars, once again the threads of aesthetics are dictated by function: \u201cWhen the ultimate performance goal is required, technical and structural constraints become unavoidable. That\u2019s why the project proved so complex and interesting!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
