This exquisite creation is made out of 7,000 square meters of carbon fiber and 400 square meters of aluminum honeycomb, in order to create the hull. The two innovative carbon-fiber ‘foil arms’, weighing 500 kg each, have been designed to support a maximum load of 27 tonnes. There’s also a soft win’ rig that is key to the latest model, with two sails hoisted in parallel and inbuilt systems to control the sail shape.
