Wind is free.
But efficiency is engineered.

We’ve just published the 4th article of our WASP research series, led by our R&D engineer David Bujeda.

This time, we explore a simple but powerful question:

2 or 4 Flettner rotors?

Behind it lies a complex reality:
interactions, flow behavior, performance trade-offs.

Using CFD, we reveal how rotor configuration shapes:
– Energy efficiency
– Aerodynamic performance
– The future of wind-assisted shipping

Because innovation at sea is not about adding more.
It’s about designing better.

Flying over water is not magic. It’s engineering.

We’ve just completed sea trials in Valencia with an unmanned hydrofoil prototype.

A vessel that doesn’t just move through water…
it rises above it.

Less drag.
Less energy.
More autonomy.

But here’s the real challenge:

When a boat flies,
stability must be controlled, not assumed.

This project focused on validating an autonomous flight control system, bridging CFD simulations with real-world performance.

From digital flow to physical motion.
From prediction to precision.

Thanks to , and for making it possible.

Flying toward the future.

The Bluegame BGF 45 is nominated at the Foiling Awards in the Production Motor Boat category, and we are proud to have contributed to this groundbreaking project.

CFD.
Hydrodynamics.
Efficiency.
Performance with purpose.

This is what happens when innovation meets the sea.

If you believe in smarter, more sustainable high-performance boats, take a moment to vote.

Wind propulsion is reshaping the future of shipping.

We’ve just published the third article of our Wind Propulsion series, written by our Research and Development Coordinator, David Bujeda.

This piece introduces the key concepts and terminology behind wind-assisted propulsion, helping designers and engineers better understand how aerodynamic forces interact with vessel performance — the foundation for efficient and sustainable design.

Part of an ongoing series dedicated to engineering-driven wind propulsion.

New Technical Paper Released 🚀

We are proud to announce the publication of our latest research:
“Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of Flow Around a Hydrofoil: Benchmark Solution.”

This paper establishes a high-fidelity numerical benchmark for modern hydrofoil sections, with a deep focus on transition, turbulence, and ventilation-related phenomena: critical factors for performance, efficiency, and safety in foiling applications.

By pushing CFD beyond conventional limits, we reveal flow mechanisms often left unresolved:
• Laminar separation bubbles
• Near-wall dynamics
• Fine-scale turbulence effects that decisively shape hydrofoil behavior

Authors
• Andrew Baglin – Senior Naval Architect & CFD Engineer at Caponnetto Hueber
• Mario Caponnetto – CTO at Caponnetto Hueber
• Milovan Perić – Scientific Advisor at Caponnetto Hueber

At Caponnetto Hueber, we believe that rigorous CFD, when pushed to its limits, is not just a design tool, it is a way to truly understand the physics behind performance.

A Week of Encounters, Innovation and Perspectives

This week has been full of movement, and full of meaning.

🚤 At the Valencia Boat Show, we immersed ourselves in the pulse of the industry: innovation, craftsmanship, design. We reconnected with long-time collaborators, met brilliant professionals, and discovered new opportunities for growth and cooperation. The future of maritime innovation feels very close… and very exciting.

🎙️ Our CTO, Mario Caponnetto, was invited to El Role, the podcast by Nacho Gómez, to talk about CFD, yacht design, America’s Cup and much more. The episode will be released this Saturday, (and trust us: you’ll want to listen. Insightful, technical, and inspiring. Just like Mario.)

🤝 We also joined the presentation of the Cluster of the Sports Industry of the Valencian Community, an initiative that aligns perfectly with our values: collaboration, excellence, and innovation.

We’re proud to be part of this dynamic and visionary ecosystem.

At Caponnetto Hueber, we believe progress happens when technology and human connections move together, and this week was proof of that.

Stay tuned. We’re just getting started.
