First-of-its-kind electric ferry with America’s Cup hydrofoil tech

Marinas already have power/charging infrastructure, so finding power is no issue. If DC charging power is available, the Vessev VS-9 can charge at a rate of 0.8 nautical miles (0/9 miles/1.5 km) of foiling range per minute. But that’s only part of what… Continue reading First-of-its-kind electric ferry with America’s Cup hydrofoil tech

Sailboats have been traversing the Atlantic Ocean since before 1592, sailing through sunshine, wind, and rain. The one thing that they’ve all had in common has been a captain to pilot the ship across this vast watery expanse, at least until now. A company called Offshore Sensing has sailed an unmanned vessel all the way from Canada to Ireland.
