nautical challenges

This nautical challenge is designed to inspire the next generation of sustainable yachting. Participants are invited to develop innovative solutions that combine high nautical performance with a strong commitment to environmental responsibility.
The challenge focuses on new technologies, innovative materials, and alternative propulsion systems that reduce the environmental impact of boating. Projects may include the use of solar energy, hydrogen, electric propulsion, and other renewable energy sources to power boats more efficiently and sustainably.
Participants are encouraged to present practical, feasible designs or prototypes that show how sustainability and performance can work together. The goal is to support creative ideas that can drive progress in the marine industry while helping protect the ocean environment.
