Building the future of propulsion

Launched in 2018 by the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM), this class invites teams to design not only an innovative cockpit but also the most efficient and sustainable propulsion system—exclusively powered by green energy sources. The YCM provides all participants with a standardized catamaran hull, allowing teams to concentrate their efforts on enhancing propulsion efficiency and optimizing cockpit functionalities.
