2020 | The prototype

First milestone of the project: the development and launch of a half-scale prototype. After months of work in the context of a global pandemic, we were finally able to test our design during the summer of 2020 with a prototype on Lake Geneva.

These sailings were very promising, with exciting findings, a better understanding of the boat and the first driving sensations for Benoît, our future pilot. This campaign also allowed us to validate the simulations carried out by the team and to begin the optimization of the future boat with serenity. 

2021 | After the prototype, the final boat!

It took us more than 40’000 hours of work to validate the design of our boat. With the Swiss watchmaking brand Richard Mille joining the adventure as a Title Partner, our dream got a little closer to reality. We started building our boat, entrusting its construction to the prestigious Persico Marine  shipyard in Italy. The manufacture of such a vessel is slightly different from more traditional boats, since TPT® carbon kits are used: pre-impregnated carbon fabrics that are much thinner than what is usually used.  The lightness and performance of TPT® kits are essential assets for our little rocket to accelerate up to 80 knots (150km/h).
