technology<\/a><\/strong> technology, which reduces energy consumption by 80% by lifting the boat out of the water, <strong>allowing it to reach high speeds with low energy expenditure.<\/strong> This design allows only 1% of the boat to touch the water, minimizing drag.\nDuring the voyage, the vessel used a Kempower fast charging system at the ports, which allowed it to complete the journey with only three recharges. <\/p>\n\n<p>According to Gustav Hasselskog, CEO of Candela, the goal of this voyage was to demonstrate that long-range electric sailing is viable and outperforms traditional fossil-fueled ships in many respects.\nThe experience was described as &#8220;magical&#8221;, <strong>flying over the sea in total silence and without the typical jolts of conventional ships.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"
