Ferrari is building a 100-foot YACHT that can ‘fly' over the water – and it won't have an engine

The monohull yacht Hypersail of Ferrari - while sailing - is able to balance itself on three points. One is a foil attached to a special canting keel - a moving part under the yacht that helps it keep upright whilst adding speed at the same time. The second is a foil on the rudder which helps steer the incredible vessel, and the third is one of the two side foils - depending on which direction the boat is turning.
