12th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge: Italian domination and return of toroidal propellers
After four days of on-water challenges and discussions, the curtain has fallen on the 12th Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. Organised by Yacht Club de Monaco, with support from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, UBS, BMW and SBM Offshore, it is now firmly established as the big event for imagining and testing the latest evolutions in cleaner propulsion. Major industry players and young engineers combined their expertise to accelerate the sector’s energy transition. This year again YCM President HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco came to meet the students, stopping in every paddock to learn more about the latest developments and kick- off the championship finale in a highly charged atmosphere among the teams. “Technologies are advancing, the ideas also, now we must speed up. We all have a role to play – institutions, manufacturers, owners – it’s time to turn intentions into actions,” says Yacht Club de Monaco General Secretary Bernard d’Alessandri.
