This boat was built by students of the Moscow Polytechnic University, especially for participation in competitions "Solar regatta." During development this electric motor boat, we set the goal of becoming the best Russian team in the 2016 season. We developed and calculated the hull of the boat using the Numeca Fine Marine software environment. On this boat our team took the 2 place in the solar regatta stage in Calinigrad, losing to TH Wildau team from Germany, and 3 place in Solarbotregatta 2017 competitions in Vildau, Germany.
