Double mission Polish team DSC12

The Polish team from the Technical University of Gdansk has a double mission, winning with a boat in the A-class and with a boat in the B-class, but they also have a training goal with their old solar boat. Next year the Polish are participating for the fourth time in the DONG Energy Solar Challenge.

The Polish won the B-class in the Dutch Open Solar Boat Challenge earlier this year. ‘The plan is to use this boat as a training boat next year, ’ said Litwin. ´With this boat we collect data for research and we would also like to train the younger skippers on this boat.´

The boat from the A-class is currently under construction. ´We hope to finish the designing, building and testing the boat in December.´ The team uses carbon fiber in the construction of the boat. ´We believe the light weight is the most important about the boat.´
