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 unconventional boat, we are pushing the limits to invent the sailing 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 hydroelectric power generation.

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.

Navigations: a day on the water with the team

The team now spends most of its time in the south of France to be on the water as often as the conditions allow it! How does a day of testing unfold? How long does it take to set up a run? How many runs can we fit in a day of testing?

Launching on Lake Geneva for the SP80 boat

Launching on Lake Geneva for the SP80 boat

It’s done! Our little rocket has left the workshop and hit the water for the first time. In addition to being the culmination of years of work, this launch is the first step of a new adventure: after years behind our screens, it’s time to get practical!
