For the second year the Maritime Engineers and Ship Scientists amongst others from the University of Southampton have taken part in the HYDRO challenge on Lake Geneva and as recently reported by the University.
This year their foiling catamaran performed strongly as noted on their facebook page excerpted below. Many congratulations to all involved and grateful thanks to all those who sponsored the team! Onwards and upwards for 2017…

That’s it for our coverage of the Hydrocontest for now, though stay tuned for thanks to our sponsors/partners, and for some unseen photos and videos that we didn’t have time to show you!
Once again, thanks for your continued support, and we can’t wait until we can do it all again next year!
