Experience the Future of Power Catamarans at the America's Cup with Aquila
Foiling has revolutionized America's Cup racing for over a decade. In 2012, Emirates Team New Zealand introduced foils, transforming yacht racing forever. By 2018, the AC75 Class Rule brought new engineering and sailing techniques, setting unprecedented performance standards.
Aquila Power Catamarans is proud to embrace this innovative technology. Imagine a hydrofoil on an Aquila power catamaran matching the performance of adding 200 horsepower, 100 gallons of fuel, and 100 miles of range. The Hydro Glide Foil System, designed by Morrelli and Melvin, who also designed the foil technology for America's Cup racing boats, changes this by lifting 40% of the hull’s weight out of the water at cruising speeds, significantly improving performance and fuel economy. The system’s aerodynamics function similarly to airplane wings, reducing drag and offering a lift-to-drag ratio of up to 25-to-1 compared to a typical planing hull's 4-to-1.
Aquila's adoption of Hydro Glide Technology underscores their commitment to sustainability. In an industry where environmental impact is a growing concern, Aquila is leading the way by integrating eco-friendly technologies into its designs. The reduced fuel consumption and lower emissions offered by Hydro Glide technology are crucial steps toward more sustainable power boating practices. Aquila has started incorporating this innovative foil technology into their new models.
Exciting news: From August to October in Barcelona, Spain, Aquila’s 54ft Power Catamaran, Explorion, will serve as a VIP day charter yacht at the America's Cup, offering:
Exceptional Viewing: The yacht’s bow area features sun loungers and seating, perfect for relaxing and soaking in the event’s atmosphere. Experience up-close views of the world’s best sailors as they compete at the highest level.
Exclusive Access: Imagine experiencing America’s Cup from the best seat in the house – right on the water. P/C Explorion offers you exclusive access to all the excitement, putting you at the heart of the action.
Looking ahead, Aquila plans to continue integrating foil technology into new models, with the highly anticipated Aquila 42 set to launch in November 2024. Join us in embracing innovation and sustainability on the water!
