The maritime transport sector has been one of the most traditional ever. Although it is currently in a borderline situation that is accompanied by a new legislative framework on emissions. And it is that the maritime transport is one of the big responsible of the emissions of gases like CO2 and SOX, with all that they suppose for the climate.The problem requires the application of technologies and systems to improve its efficiency. Among the possible solutions are to adapt innovative measures to develop them and to implement them throughout the entire fleet. And it is that the short sea shipping is being more and more behind, with boats of considerable dimensions making several journeys a day.This project wants to adapt the wingsail system carried by the America's Cup boats to a multihull that allows its advantages. In addition, a case focused on a region with the need to cover these benefits.Going through all the stages of design, from the first approximations of the basic dimensions to the design of the hull forms, the estimates of speed and power, all based on a theoretical basis of the fundamental books of the subject, always taking into account all the necessary requirements for the design.The potential that the project can achieve will depend on whether t is interesting as an alternative to conventional ferries and can be expanded in other regions
L´objectiu d´aquest projecte és seguir les diferents etapes durant el procès de disseny d´una embarcació. Com a fets diferencials del projecte està el propòsit de dissenyar una embarcació multicasc per funcions de transport de passatgers, mentre es impulsada per un sistema propulsor alternatiu amb una vela rígida
