Two icons of speed and innovation—North Sails and Ferrari—are joining forces in a multi-year partnership that merges the worlds of elite sailing and motorsport. The collaboration centers around the ambitious Ferrari Hypersail project, a fully-foiling 100-foot monohull yacht designed to push the boundaries of offshore racing.
As the exclusive supplier of technical sailing apparel, North Sails will outfit the Ferrari Hypersail team with gear engineered for extreme conditions. The brand also becomes the official licensing partner for the upcoming Ferrari Hypersail replica collection, bringing high-performance design to everyday wear.
“Ferrari Hypersail is a natural extension of Ferrari’s racing DNA,” said Matteo Lanzavecchia, CTO of Ferrari Hypersail. “We’re thrilled to have North Sails by our side in this challenge to redefine what’s possible in offshore sailing.”
Innovation Above Deck
Innovation Above DeckNorth Sails, alongside Southern Spars and Future Fibres, has played a pivotal role in developing Hypersail’s revolutionary “Engine Above Deck” concept. Their combined expertise in sails, spars, and rigging has shaped a yacht built for speed, resilience, and cutting-edge performance.
“This is a proud moment for the North Technology Group,” said Sam Watson, CEO. “Ferrari Hypersail unites our full spectrum of innovation—from sails to apparel—and shows what’s possible when world-class teams chase bold ambitions.”
