Our boat is home

July 19, 2017 Floris Romeijn

The last months everyone worked hard to achieve one common goal, our very own solar boat!
We are excited to announce that the solar boat is safe and secure on Dutch soil. Last week a team of members of the society represented the society in Monaco, during the Monaco Solar Boat & Electric Challenge at Yacht Club de Monaco. They overcame technical difficulties trying to get a boat they had never seen before operational. And they succeeded!!! We managed to participate and finish every single race with a result of reaching 9th position in the final ranking. We have big plans for the boat and with the boat safely “home” we are eager to start working on it and driven to come back next year to perform even better. We would like to express our thanks to all the teams who aided us during the races and of course to the organization and Yacht Club de Monaco.
