When I first got in the Sea eight and the motor started, I didn't notice, I only really believed it when we started moving away from the dog. All that makes the sea eight phenomenally quiet. It's direct drive, so there are no gears, and it sits entirely underwater, meaning there's no combustion engine puttering on the back of the boat. All that power is driven by a remarkably small motor known as the Sea Pod mounted on the rear foil like a torpedo. It can get up to 27 knots at top speed when it's foiling. That's 22 knots, or roughly 25 miles an hour. Speaker 1: The Sea eight uses a 69 kilowatt hour battery from pole staff, which gives it a range of about 57 nautical miles at cruising speed. And Candela says that is the secret to long range high speed electric travel at sea. That combined with the lightweight 100% carbon fiber hole means the SEA eight uses less power to push through the water. According to Candela, this design reduces water friction by as much as 80%. The result is the C eight, an all electric 28 foot powerboat that uses hydrofoils to float out of the water and cruise above the waves. Since releasing its first hydrofoil speedboat in 2019, Swedish Company, Candela has been refining its design with a team of 50 engineers. That's the promise of the Candela C eight speedboat, a 100% electric hydrofoil boat that's designed to fly above the waves, meaning that when you are on the water, your ride is fast, smooth, and incredibly silent. No diesel or gas trailing into the water and no noise. Speaker 1: No wake trailing out behind you.
