SECOND AND ECO-CONCEPTION PRIZE! WHAT A WIN 🥈

SECOND AND ECO-CONCEPTION PRIZE! WHAT A WIN 🥈

Today marks the 3rd day after the last day of the competition in @yachtclubmonaco

It is absolutely unbelievable, euphoric, and a relief that our work has shown its finest fruits. We are so proud to bring our Solar-Foiling-Proa back on the Podium and that the implemented innovation awarded us with an additional eco-conception prize.

Two and a half years of navigating fear, uncertainty, hard work, innovation, covid-19, battling for the right to build, to participate in the competition whilst passing exams. It was a race right from the start until the end.

We arrived for the first time at Monaco Energy Challenge, with the first-ever Solar-Foiling-Proa, having tested it only a few times in the Leman Lake before testing it for the first time in the morning of the qualification lapses.

Gratefulness is nowhere close enough to illustrate our current state of mind.

The biggest thanks to our Sponsors and all their help, without which we would never made it this far: @epflcampus, @aventron, @cgn_switzerland, Fondation ProTechno, Decision, @alpiq_group, @csemtech, @ubp.impact @zesstbyalmatech , North Thin Ply Technology, @taaroa.hydrofoil, @planetsolar_foundation, @comppair, @forumepfl, Durabilité EPFL, @makitatools, @remorquecenter, Photovoltaics In Motion, @storyboard_studio, @3accorematerials, SBG Systems, Suter Kunststoffe, EA - Environmental Action.

Most importantly thank you to Robin Amacher & Gavin Waddell for supporting us the entire way and never giving up on us.

Finally a big thanks and clap, to our entire team and their families for the continuous support and hard work. Without any of these people, there would be no boat at all.

And now, place to pictures and a bit of rest for all of us! The next weeks will be a little calmer, however with content of the competition to illustrate special moments lived. We hope you enjoy them.

Warmest wishes,
The Swiss Solar Boat Team & its foiling legend the Dahu.

As we say in French - this boat « nous en a fait voir de toutes les couleurs » in other words, knows how to give us a hard time.

After a good head start, 2nd at the qualifications with a top speed at 15.38 knots, we have faced technical issues and started the endurance race without the vertical foil. Hence, in Archimedean mode.

The team has now fixed the vertical foil and the rest of the problems! Giving it everything we’ve got, we’ll hopefully be able to foil again to the speed race this afternoon and mark points in the overall competition!

As usual, link in bio for the live race - stay put for more 🔥
