Sydney, Australia, Palm Beach XI successfully validated her radical new C-foil configuration, reaching 29 knots of boat speed in a beautiful 22-knot nor’easter on the iconic Sydney Harbour. The 100-foot Supermaxi lifted cleanly off the water with two metres of bow rise while dramatically reducing her wetted surface area — a defining moment in the realization of the team’s bold and exciting vision becoming a reality.
Tacking off Shark Island with the port C-foil deployed, Palm Beach XI accelerated effortlessly toward the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House before lifting visibly at speed, transitioning from displacement to dynamic efficiency in flat-water conditions. What began as an ambitious engineering concept is now a reality on the water: controlled, stable, and fast.
