The prestigious America's Cup, set to begin in less than three months, will take place in the vibrant city of Barcelona. The America's Cup is the oldest international sailing competition, where teams from around the world compete in high-performance sailing boats.
Magonis is thrilled to announce its participation in the America's Cup with two Wave e-550 boats, which will be used as support vessels.
The 37th America's Cup: A Commitment to Decarbonization
This season, the America's Cup is placing significant focus on decarbonization. A key initiative is the construction of six electric boats by four shipyards for use during the event. Supported by the Barcelona Nautical Capital Foundation, this project aims to highlight Catalonia's technological advancements and drive the decarbonization of the nautical sector.
The foundation aims to extend the decarbonization and electrification initiative to the entire maritime industry, beginning with yachts. Catalonia has a head start in this process, as it is already a leader in decarbonization and recharging systems for the automotive sector. To leverage this, the plan seeks to explore how technologies from the automotive field can be adapted for use in the marine industry.
