Southampton HYDRO Team Foils

Friday, July 31st, 2015

After a week of hard work the Southampton HYDRO Team are airborne, foiling with ease during a last-minute test run at the HYDROcontest in Lausanne, Switzerland.  Congratulations should also go to the team for finishing 8^th in the long-distance race, despite an unplanned 50-minute pit stop due to interference from other competitors’ remote control equipment.

The HYDROcontest took place from 14^th-19^th July 2015, and pitted 17 teams from around the world against each other to design, build and pilot the most energy-efficient boat.

Steller Systems are proud to be a team sponsor.  For those interested in the design, the craft will be on display at the forthcoming Southampton Boat Show.

The contest culminates in teams from around the world facing off on Lake Geneva in Lausanne, Switzerland on 18-19^th July 2015.  The aim of the contest is to raise awareness of the need to design more efficient nautical technologies.  We wish the team the best of luck!
