After announcing the E1 World Electric Powerboat Series championship back in October, the Union Internationale Motonautique has unveiled the first look at its exclusive powerboat. Created by Sophi Horne of SeaBird Technologies and CEO of Victory Marine Brunello Acampora, the RaceBird has a single-pilot design that was inspired the way seabirds skim across the water. Like these birds, the vessel will hover over the surface at speeds of up to 50 knots or 58 mph using hydrofoil technology. Its sleek, futuristic exterior features a full carbon construction and includes an enclosed cabin and onboard electric motor. With the RaceBird now in its production phase, the inaugural season of the E1 series is set to begin in early 2023.
