Boats are meant to float, but a new concept from Italy’s pioneering Lazzarini Design Studio would also have them soar — sort of.
The company has released renderings for its latest creation: Plectrum, a futuristic, 242-foot superyacht capable of traveling at speeds of 86 miles per hour above the water line — similar to a hoverboard.
“We like to remember that in 1964, shipbuilding was already capable of similar vessel construction,” the studio — which is led by designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini — said in a statement, according to. The studio was referring to the first use of what’s called a hydrofoil, a fin- or wing-like technology that lifts a ship above the water’s surface, giving it the appearance of levitating.
