REACHING 80 KNOTS.
SOLELY POWERED BY THE WIND.
TRAINING THE ENGINEERS OF TOMORROW.
SHATTERING THE WORLD SAILING SPEED RECORD
Starting with a dream, we built a boat capable of sailing at 80 knots (150kph) solely powered by the wind. With this unique boat, we are breaking the codes to invent sailboats of tomorrow.
First attempts are planned for 2024.
SHOWCASING THE OUTSTANDING POTENTIAL OF RENEWABLE ENERGIES
By breaking a record using only wind power, we want to prove that mankind is capable of achieving technological feats that go beyond the potential of fossil fuels.
Our goal is to bring the innovations developed for the record to maritime transport, competitive sailing and energy production.
CONTRIBUTING TO
RESEARCH AND TRAINING
Thanks to a partnership with EPFL, we collaborate with research laboratories and contribute to training a new generation of engineers. From this organisation has emerged an ambitious team with a unique balance between youth and experience.
