Anybody know what this is? Sticking a Ferrari logo on a boat or something more interesting?

Not AC. Look in the direction of Roberto Lacorte who's family owns and runs Cetilar. He is a passionate sailor and also racing driver, who raced regularly at Le Mans in LMP2 before moving across to racing Ferraris in the Le Mans series (you will also see the Cetilar logo on the 2025 Ferrari F1 cars). Roberto's latest race boat is Flying Nikka which was the very first (and only until this point) 'offshore' boat of this type. The Ferrari boat is just a larger version of the same concept. Different from the AC boats in that it is designed for offshore races.

It will be interesting to see if it wins anything as while it will be almost guaranteed line honours in any race above 10 knots of wind (ie once it can get up on the foils), the handicap is usually horrendous.

Can't wait to see it in the flesh/carbon.
