American Magic, the ambitious America's Cup team, has taken delivery of the groundbreaking BGH hydrogen-powered foiling catamaran from Bluegame's Sanlorenzo division. This pioneering chase boat boasts lightning-fast speeds of up to 50 knots and an impressive range of 180nm, all thanks to its cutting-edge hydrogen fuel cell technology.

Luca Santella, Bluegame's BGH project manager, explains that the design process was a complex engineering feat, but the end result is nothing short of history-making in the realm of sustainable boating. The boat's hardtop design boasts glazing on three sides, remaining open at the back for easy crew access. Seating arrangements cater to safety at high speeds, with multiple rows of bucket seats. Another BGH boat is set to be delivered to the French Orient Express team shortly.

While the specifics aren't yet known, you can expect a power-catamaran with foil-assistance for improved fuel efficiency - no hydrogen fuel cell on this model, though; a more conventional propulsion system such as a Volvo Penta IPS installation is likely.
