SP80
We are a team of EPFL engineers and students who believe that through the combination of sailing, kitesurfing and engineering principles, we can significantly outperform the standing World Sailing Speed Record.
In this endeavour, we are imagining unique solutions and novel concepts that we think also have potential in the sailing world. Our hope is that by establishing a new record we will demonstrate a new set of tools with applications in fast marine transport, offshore sailing or energy production.
This vision is the foundation upon which we are now building a boat capable of reaching 150 km/h (80 knots) with the wind as its sole source of power.
