Qué cubre este vídeo

Petter Mørland Pedersen, a former Olympic sailor, develops and manufactures bolt-on hydrofoil systems for existing production sailboats through his company, Lift Ocean.1:22 The technology allows older vessels, such as the Uttern 22DS, to achieve takeoff speeds of 13 to 14 knots.1:48 Once foiling, these boats experience reduced fuel consumption, increased comfort by eliminating slamming in waves, and minimal wake.1:53 Unlike high-end, purpose-built foiling craft that can cost millions, the Lift Ocean system aims for affordability and ease of installation on legacy hulls.2:29

Beyond his engineering work, Mørland Pedersen discusses his competitive sailing background, including his 2012 Olympic campaign in the Star class with Eivind Melleby.13:24 He emphasizes the importance of fostering unorganized, recreational sailing for youth to encourage lifelong participation, contrasting this with the rigid structure of modern junior training programs.18:49 He currently competes in the J/70 class and advocates for better utilization of club-owned fleets to increase participation in regional regattas and sailing leagues.25:32
