Surface to Air

May 17, 2017 | 11 min

With a multimillion dollar boat and only the A-list in elite sailing, design, engineering and production build, "Surface To Air" explores the world of America's Cup racing and what really goes into competing for the oldest and most coveted global sailing trophy. Hydrofoiling has revolutionized the sport, now boats are designed to instantly propel themselves from the surface of the water and into the air, relegating the drag barrier to next to nothing, defying logic and the imagination. The engineering behind foiling has literally transformed sailing to one of the fastest, most dangerous competitions on earth by pushing to the extreme limits of design. And it is because of these revolutionary designs, that teams employ recon masters determined to spy and steal coveted engineering secrets from their competitors. The film travels to Bermuda, where we meet Artemis Racing, challenger to the 35th America's Cup.
