Rafael Nadal is getting into all-electric boat racing—in a big way.
The E1 series was cofounded by Alejandro Agag, who also founded and oversaw the Formula E electric car racing circuit, and Extreme E, electric off-road racing. “My ambition is for the E1 Series to accelerate the adoption of electric boats, to demonstrate how exciting they can be and to promote electric solutions and clean-water mobility to marine travel worldwide,” AgagThe RaceBird boats will run with electric outboards on foils for a top speed of about 70 mph.
Nadal, originally from Mallorca, signed on partly for the sustainability component of the series. “I like the fact that E1 has a clear mission and is committed to preserving marine ecosystems,” he said in a statement. The series’ Blue Action Programme is designed to create projects aimed at restoring marine ecosystems along city waterfronts. It will be led by Professor Carlos Duarte, chief scientist at E1 and also from Mallorca.
