This boat was a continuation of the work of students of Moscow Polytechnic, the embodiment of 3 years of experience in the creation of boats on solar energy. Valentina Queen is a modular multi-function boat - it can participate in solar boat competitions, can be used as a battery electric boat, but can also be used with a conventional gasoline engine. It is a boat that is not limited to competition and can be used for a wide range of tasks. We decided to make the boat project entirely of composite material and Valentina Queen became a test prototype. The boat is named after our permanent pilot Valentina Kaplin, who brought us many victories in Russia and Germany.
