2023 entry list

SEA LAB

SeaLab, prominently installed at the prestigious YCM Marina, presents an exciting opportunity for enthusiasts and industry professionals alike to delve into the world of cutting-edge marine technology and innovation. At this dynamic venue, visitors can engage with a range of avant-garde projects, groundbreaking prototypes, and sophisticated demonstrators. Notably, SeaLab features an array of boats that are part of the Open Sea Class, including those that may not yet hold certification within the European Union. This diverse and forward-thinking display highlights the latest advancements and experimental designs in maritime engineering, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the future of the boating industry.

1 participation

With a team of 25 students from different study backgrounds from TU Delft, we show that it is possible to design, build and race a flying hydrogen-powered boat in just one year.

2 participations

For its second participation, Exocet is presenting a boat project fitted with a new hydrogen system with the aim being to improve performance in the Endurance Race as well as the Slalom contest.

RaceBird, a new all-electric raceboat prototype set to line up on the starting grid in the E1 World Championship. The 7m long single-pilot vessel utilises innovative hydrofoil technology to minimise drag and maximise energy efficiency. The RaceBird can fly above the water’s surface and is capable of reaching a top speed of 50 knots. The raceboat is powered by an electric motor developed by Mercury Racing, which supplies a peak power output of 150kWh together with a 35kWh battery produced by Kreisel Electric.

Swiss Solar Boat works on Hydrogen hybridisation of their solar boat with foils with a boat on foils over 7m in length, powered by solar panels and able to reach a top speed of 23 knots in ideal conditions.

Developed by students of Institut auf dem Rosenberg in collaboration with SAGA Space Architects, the Blue Nomad is a self-sufficient solar floating habitat showcasing a fossil-free future for living and traveling on the ocean. To address climate change, rising sea levels and contemporary nomadism, it provides a comfortable living space that relies purely on solar power.

Comprising 20 naval architects and oceanic engineers, the team focused on development of a hydrogen fuel cell battery hybrid powertrain for their first participation in this event.

The Green Foiling Spain project is a boat using automatically controlled hydrofoils and a propulsion system powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, with an emphasis on safety.

Malizia-Seaexplorer is fully equiped with 3x more Solbian solar panels than the previous boat and carries hydro-generators in order to run purely on renewable energy. The boat also carries The Ocean Pack, a miniaturised lab, tracking water temperature, salinity and CO2 in the sea concentration which is then shared the scientific community.
