The boating industry has upgraded their vehicles for a safer, smoother and efficient ride that flies a few feet above the water with new technology and designs.
. It is an impressive 28-foot boat that uses hydrofoils to float out of the water and fly above the waves. Just looking at the picture of it at top speed looks almost like a photoshopped image.
Rest assured, it's real. What's also unique about this boat is that it significantly lowers the amount of gas that a regular speedboat would burn. The typical combustion engine is replaced by a 69kWh Polestar battery and a small, torpedo-shaped direct drive motor that remains completely underwater.
It rides less than 27.6 inches above the surface. It uses a combination of electric propulsion units at the back of its retractable foils and an active stability control system, using up to 75% less power than a conventional boat hull. WaveFlyer Volaré starts at about $49,990. Other models will sell for as high as $59,990, so it's no secret that these boats are on the pricier side.One of the best reasons for the creation of these boats is to reduce the amount of pollution in our seas. We've all heard about how at-risk our environment is, so any amount of pollution andis a good thing in my eyes. Plus, these boats run way smoother than a regular boat ever could, even on super choppy water days.
Of course, with all good things comes a downside, and in this case, these boats are typically more expensive than the average boat because of the materials they use. I mentioned before that the Candela C-8 hydrofoil speedboat is worth about $390,000, while the base model of the WaveFlyer Volaré starts at about $49,990. Other models will sell for as high as $59,990, so it's no secret that these boats are on the pricier side.

Ship comes under attack off Yemen, British military saysA ship came under attack Friday off the coast of Yemen in unclear circumstances. The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said the attack Friday happened off Nishtun, Yemen, in the country’s far east near the border with Oman. It said shots had been fired at the unidentified vessel, with three boats chasing after it. There was no additional information immediately available. There have been incidents in the past off Yemen, though Nishtun is held by forces allied to Yemen’s internationally recognized government, which is backed by a Saudi-led coalition. In December 2020, a mysterious attack targeted a cargo ship off Nishtun.
