The Candela C-8 debuts its high speed yet efficient performance at CES 2023. The watercraft, 28 foot long and made with a 100% carbon fiber hull, offers sailors long range at sea using electric. It can reach a top speed of 30 knots, and can cruise for over two hours at 20 knots.
The boat is the Swedish brand’s first production day cruiser equipped with their electric hydrofoil system. The hydrofoils enable the craft to fly above the waves, reducing water friction by 80%.
