At Cannes, Italian shipyard Bluegame presented the first model from its second powercat range, the BGF45.
This powercat was directly inspired by the prototype built for the Oracle and Orient Express teams for the America's Cup. The BGF45 incorporates the prototype's foil technology but has abandoned (at least for now) hydrogen/electric propulsion in favor of Volvo IPS motors capable of propelling the powercat at speeds of up to 35 knots. The 45 offers a very sleek design where carbon reigns supreme. In addition to two large sun lounging areas, it offers two cabins and even quarters for the crew.
