Electric Powertrain

Our catamaran runs on a fully electric drivetrain built around a custom 29S NMC lithium-ion battery pack managed by a high-current BMS. A DC-DC conversion stage regulates power delivery to an active cooling system and the engine trim, while the entire power distribution architecture is designed in-house to maximize performance during acceleration, cruise, and maneuvering phases of the race.

Handmade Carbon Fiber Structures

The cockpit, battery box, transom, and structural components of our catamaran are entirely handmade by our team using carbon fiber composite. From mold preparation and fiber cutting to wet lay-up and vacuum bagging, every part is built in-house without industrial automation. This hands-on approach lets us iterate quickly on design and layup schedules while maintaining full control over weight, stiffness, and build quality.

Real-Time Telemetry

A custom telemetry system built on Raspberry Pi streams live data from every critical subsystem during races. CAN bus networks collect readings from the BMS and motor controller, while dedicated sensors monitor temperatures, GPS position, and inertial dynamics. All data is logged on board and transmitted in real time, giving our engineering team immediate insight to optimize strategy and ensure safe operation on the water.
