The technology being used was developed for America's Cup racing yachts.

They believe their hydrofoil technology can revolutionize the boating industry. Mr. Tornqvist's Artemis Racing produced one of the world's fastest boats for the 2017 America's Cup using hydrofoils that lifted the yacht above the water to "fly" at high speeds. Mr. Percy led the America's Cup yacht team for Artemis. They are now applying their sailing technology expertise to water transportation.
