Organised by the Yacht Club de Monaco
Edition 2025
Energy Class
The Yacht Club de Monaco provides standardised catamaran hulls. Teams design and build the cockpit and propulsion system. Our challenge: performance, sustainability and energy innovation.
The races
Three distinct races: the slalom, endurance (4 hours over 2 nautical miles) and the championship in two-by-two match racing.
Our approach
74 ESILV 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students work in a multidisciplinary team: fluid mechanics, electronics, embedded systems, project management and communication.
Next edition
