A Shift in Racing
With its long nose, wings and enclosed cockpit, the 24-foot RaceBird is sleek and aerodynamic, like a fighter jet. Similar in shape to Luke Skywalker’s XWing and sporting foiling technology straight out of the America’s Cup, this vessel is different than any race boat ever conceived, especially in terms of propulsion.
The RaceBird will land in 10 locations around the world in 2023 as part of a new electric-powered racing series called the E1. Launched by the founders of Formula E (similar to Formula, a converted 344-foot royal mail ship), E1 will debut the advancements in electromobility to a broad, global audience.
