Ideas, proven on the water. Clean propulsion, electric, solar, hydrogen and smart energy — tested in real racing, not on paper.
Same hulls. Equal odds. Teams from across the Asia-Pacific and beyond, one rulebook — where the best engineering wins, not the biggest budget.
Bigger than the race. Students, universities and industry build a network that lasts long after the finish line.
Tomorrow's fleet starts here. A direct line from student innovation to the yachts and shipyards of the future.
In the Energy Class, every team starts with the same foundation: a standardized catamaran hull provided by the Yacht Club de Monaco. From there, each team must design and build its own cockpit, propulsion system and energy strategy. The objective is clear: create the most efficient and reliable zero-emission boat possible. Teams can explore electric propulsion, solar energy, hydrogen and other clean technologies while respecting strict technical and safety rules.
Endurance, manoeuvrability and speed: the Energy Class racing live on Darwin Harbour.
Walk the team paddock and see the boats, engineers and technology up close.
Open conferences on clean propulsion, financing and the future of maritime mobility.
Student engineers and industry experts share the tech behind the prototypes.
