75 knots top speed | ed
Barracuda Yacht Design is developing the world's fastest yacht for an owner.
The 33.53 metre long glider is to be made entirely of carbon and will reach a top speed of over 75 knots with hydrofoils. Incidentally, the Spanish studio, which has been working on the concept for three years, is not planning to use gas turbines for propulsion, but rather conventional, low-maintenance diesel engines. The weight will be reduced by means of an ultra-light interior, aircraft technology and the use of titanium. The designers expect construction to take around two years.
