Our 2026 project marks our transition from initial builds to a performance-focused racing platform. First, we are developing custom propeller geometries using computational design software to improve propulsion efficiency. Second, the boat features space-grade solar panels integrated with an MPPT converter system to optimise energy harvesting and power management. Finally, we have overhauled our software and electronics to increase modularity, reducing external connections by using swappable microcontroller boards. We are also building a digital twin of the boat to assist the pilot with real-time decision-making. Our objective for 2026 is to field a reliable, solar-electric catamaran that demonstrates how engineering optimisation can drive sustainable maritime innovation.
