From MotoGP circuits to the open ocean, WRS is ready for a new adventure. The Italian brand, known for its high-performance aerodynamic components, has officially become the Technical Partner of Ferrari Hypersail, a pioneering project that marks Ferrari’s entry into ocean sailing.

As part of the partnership, WRS will design and develop crucial aerodynamic parts for the Ferrari Hypersail prototype. The company will transfer its MotoGP engineering experience to the nautical world. Therefore, this collaboration strengthens WRS’s dedication to performance, research, and innovation.

The Ferrari Hypersail project is led by Team Principal Giovanni Soldini and Team Leader Marco G. Ribigini. It serves as a research and development platform that connects motorsport and sailing through open innovation. The prototype, a 100-foot “flying” monohull racing yacht, represents Ferrari’s spirit of speed and excellence.

For WRS, this partnership continues a journey that began in 2024. That year, the company developed an innovative aerodynamic solution for competitive sailing. Now, it expands that mission to one of the most ambitious ocean challenges ever attempted.

Nicolas Zavoli, CEO of WRS, stated: “The Ferrari Hypersail challenge is one of the most exciting projects of my life. It’s the kind of venture that pushes you to go beyond your limits. I can’t wait to see it take to the water. I was already amazed seeing it in the simulator. I’m sure the years ahead with Ferrari Hypersail will be full of emotion and achievement. Research and innovation are part of WRS’s DNA. They drive our constant pursuit of new frontiers in speed and efficiency. This challenge perfectly reflects the WRS philosophy: turning passion for performance into historic milestones.”

Marco G. Ribigini, Team Leader of Ferrari Hypersail, added: “Giovanni and his crew will cross the oceans in extreme conditions, at extraordinary speeds. Thanks to the windshields and fairings developed by WRS, they will enjoy perfect visibility at all times. WRS is the ideal partner for this project. They accepted the challenge with enthusiasm and quickly identified the best technical solutions. With their experience in high-speed environments from MotoGP to the America’s Cup, they bring exceptional value to our mission. Together, we are ready to explore a new oceanic world.”

With WRS and Ferrari Hypersail joining forces, two worlds unite, motorsport and sailing, to pursue a single goal: pushing the limits of technology, speed, and human achievement.
