No filter recap - We launched the boat on Lake Geneva!

It’s done! Our little rocket has left the workshop and hit the water for the first time on Lake Geneva. 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! For this test session, she was towed behind a motorboat so that we could measure the hull’s drag and make sure that the data collected matched our previous calculations. And she did well ! Now, the team and boat have arrived in Leucate (France), and a new part of the challenge begins. The next few months will be dedicated to optimising the boat: first we’ll have to learn how to pilot this unique ship and sail it with a small kite. Then, we’ll gradually increase the kite’s size and thus the boat’s speed. These are exciting times ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you!
