Foils, in recent years, have risen to become a key component for boats competing in nautical competitions. A perfect example being their use during the races run by Luna Rossa...

Adapting and modifying existing solutions to implement new technologies brings neither efficiency nor true innovation. Electric or hydrogen fuel cell propulsion requires a paradigm shift in the design of certain types of boats, with a move towards solutions that break with the past, that are "disruptive". This is the philosophy that underpins the GerrisBoats concept, a water taxi designed to be truly innovative, both in reducing energy consumption and wave pollution in cities and on lakes, as well as in terms of being fully accessible.

How the project being developed by the start-up GerrisBoats can reduce wave pollution in cities of water and along canals. A genuinely electric water taxi, the fruit of a project that came into being during lockdown.
