In early 2023, Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini shared his vision for a new 74m Superyacht named Plectrum. The interesting part? It is designed to be powered by an interesting and unique foiling system.

Hydrofoil technology & impressive speed
Today, foiling technology is becoming a big part of electric powerboats, waterborne bicycles, and surfboards. If constructed, Plectrum could become the largest foiling yacht in the world at 74 metres with the foils lifting her above the water with minimal drag, enabling the impression of ‘flying’. Three hydrogen-powered motors would power Plectrum at a maximum speed of 75 knots.

The inspiration
Apparently, the design for Plectrum was derived from the America’s Cup sailboats, which are exemplary of how yachts can utilise foiling as an integral part of technology. They sail at speeds of well over 40 knots.
