BGF45

A Sleek Evolution of a Hydrogen-powered Foiling Prototype

At Cannes, Italian shipyard Bluegame presented the latest addition to its catamaran range, the BGF45.

This powercat is directly inspired by the prototype built for Team Oracle 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.
