French sailor Tanguy de Lamotte, CEO of Candela US, drives the company's “flying” electric C-8 boat in Sausalito, California on February 8, 2023. What appears at a glance to be a simple pleasure hydrofoil rises above the water as it picks up speed in San Francisco Bay, grabbing the attention of ferry passengers. But this hydrofoil is different. For one thing, it makes very little noise because it is electric. “It's half plane and half boat; almost like riding a magic carpet”, French sailor Tanguy de Lamotte said from the helm of the 8.5-meter (28-foot) long C8.
