Bluegame, the Sanlorenzo Group brand, and New York Yacht Club American Magic, challenger for the 37th America’s Cup to be held in Barcelona in 2024, have signed an agreement for the design and construction of the team’s hydrogen-powered chase boat.
This is an enormously proud moment for Bluegame after accepting the highly complex design and technical challenge. For the first time, the 37th America’s Cup protocol requires each challenging team to build and operate two hydrogen-powered foiling chase boats that must be a minimum of 10 metres in length, reach a maximum speed of 50 knots, and have a range of 180 miles.
To ensure the project’s success, Bluegame has built an exceptional team with previous America’s Cup design experience. As a result, they possess the best possible know-how in structures, composites, foil design, and the software that controls the flight-height of these highly sophisticated foiling boats.
The boat’s propulsion system is powered by hydrogen, an innovative concept in boating and a first for Bluegame. However, less than a year ago, Bluegame’s parent company, Sanlorenzo, signed a strategic agreement with Siemens Energy to build the first 50-metre superyacht with electricity generated from hydrogen fuel cells, which will be launched in 2024. This extraordinary double milestone unquestionably confirms Sanlorenzo as the pioneering brand in technological and sustainable innovation.
The America’s Cup, the pinnacle competition in yachting, was first contested in 1851, making it the oldest trophy in international sport. It even predates the modern Olympic Games by 45 years. America’s Cup match races are fought between two sailing yachts: one from the yacht club that currently holds the trophy (known as the defender) and the other from the yacht club that is challenging for the cup (the challenger).
New York Yacht Club’s America’s Cup history stretches back to the inaugural race, which they won, before retaining the America’s Cup for 132 years, the longest winning series in the history of sport. New York Yacht Club and American Magic first partnered in 2018, and the 37th America’s Cup will be their second challenge.
Luca Santella, head of product strategy of Bluegame, comments:
“I can hardly contain the emotion that arises from the recognition of Bluegame’s design value, from the confirmation of the unconventional DNA of the brand, and the fascination exercised by this legendary competition on a former professional sailor like I was.”
Tyson Lamond, chief operations officer of American Magic, explains further:
“Bluegame is the perfect partner on this project, and we’re very excited to be at the forefront of innovation. We are optimistic that hydrogen-powered boats and the production of cleaner, more environmentally friendly technology will become a sustainable solution for the wider marine industry.”

The UK’s largest boat show is back for 2021, taking place over 10 days from the 10th to the 19th September. The Sanlorenzo UK team will be there to show off the beautiful SX88 for what we believe is the first time in the shows history to have a Sanlorenzo on display.
A synthesis between the classic flybridge motor yacht and the growing explorer style yachts, the SX88 is a fast displacement crossover flybridge yacht with a large beach club connecting you to the sea. She can sleep up-to eight guests across her four staterooms, including one owner’s suite, a VIP cabin and two guest cabins. The SX88 offers an expansive saloon with floor-to-ceiling windows to give panoramic views and plenty of natural light. A unique feature includes the removal of the helm station from the main deck, giving the owner the choice of multiple layouts and space. Her flybridge includes sunbathing loungers aft and a semi-al fresco dining space. Aft of her main deck is lounge seating, and from here guests can access her 30 square-metre beach club which holds her tenders and toys while under way.

Join Sanlorenzo Yachts at the 2021 Boot Dusseldorf Boat Show as they showcase the new flagship of the SX range the SX112.
Recently launched at the Genoa boat show the SX112 is 34 meters in length and represents the consolidation of a path that began with the SX88, and then the SX76. Her exterior design was penned by Bernardo Zuccon, of Studio Zuccon International Project, while Piero Lissoni, art director of Sanlorenzo since 2018, looked after the interior of the first unit where the main deck has been organised as an open space, to maximise the relationship with outdoor spaces. in constant dialogue with their outdoor counterparts.
Our team will be on hand throughout the show to guide you through the SX112 or discuss the full range of yachts that make up the Sanlorenzo fleet in more detail.
