Much like aerodynamic efficiency is far more important with electric vehicles, hydrodynamics are key to the efficiency of watercraft.Īs the speed increased, the boat’s onboard control system automagically initiated the flight sequence. The result of being lifted out of the water on the hydrofoils is a smoother ride and around 80% less drag.

The rear “T” hydrofoil and the front “pi” foil jut down into the water when underway, serving as underwater wings to push the hull of the boat up into the air. Instead of loud, inefficient combustion motors, the company dropped in its torpedo-shaped C-Pod motor assembly. The Candela C-8 is the result of all that hard work and is finally available for customers to purchase. Our minds clear out the clutter, seemingly without effort.īoating is typically a loud experience, the drone of the motors drowning out the sound of the water, sending vibrations throughout the watercraft - and the smell of exhaust punctuating the experience.Ĭandela saw the opportunity early on and has been working towards a vision of fully electric, modern watercraft for years now.

We breathe deeper and feel more connected with our surroundings. Going from the city into the countryside, we notice how peaceful things are. We value the lack of noise far more when coming from a loud environment into a quieter place.
