When the MACS Research firm teamed up with designer Juan Carlos Espinosa, it was to the advantage of the Axcell 650, a 20-metre catamaran offering tuned-up performance thanks to a turbine which sends pressurized air between its two hulls, consequently reducing fuel consumption. Half-catamaran, half-aeroglider, it parts the waves at a speed of 40 knots. www.axcellyachts.com
