12/07/22 • 5 min
A new and efficient way of getting across the Hauraki Gulf.
Fullers has teamed up with sustainable boat company SeaChange, to bring a zero-emission hydrofoil onto Auckland's waters from next year.
The boat is fully electric, carries 10 passengers and can reach a top speed of 55 km/h.
SeaChange founder and CEO Max Olson told Tim Dower they're much more efficient than the ferries currently on the water.
He says they make them out of high performance materials like carbon fibre which gets better shapes, and they have much better control strategy than normal ferries.

Simon Judd: Barrister says baby blood case could have been a slippery slope if patients could pick and choose the services they receive
A barrister says there was potential for a dangerous precedent, had the judge ruled in favour of the parents of a six-month-old who needs heart surgery.
Doctors at Starship Hospital have been granted medical responsibility of the baby until the surgery is complete, and he recovers.
His parents won't let doctors use donations from the Blood Service for the surgery - over claims it's all tainted by the Covid vaccine.
Barrister Simon Judd told Tim Dower there could be a slippery slope if individual patients could pick and choose the services they receive, or control how a treatment is delivered.
He says you could imagine the administrative difficulties and time all of that would take.
