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.
