WORLD'S FIRST
FLYING HYDROGEN BOAT

HYDRO MOTION

2021 Monaco energy boat challenge

It was amazing to arrive in Monaco with the whole team. We successfully completed our first race and flew over the Mediterranean sea with our trimaran. On the second day, the most complex electrical system of our boat was severely damaged, an enormous setback for the team. We examined the boat and were unable to repair it in Monaco with the resources we had. We were so disappointed to not sail the endurance challenge.

Nevertheless we can be extremely proud. We turned our dream of building the world’s first flying hydrogen boat into reality and showed the world the potential of green energy!

Hydro Motion

This year we have an ambitious new plan. We, as the TU Delft Solar Boat Team 2021, are building a hydrogen boat. We call this project Hydro Motion.

With this boat we will race next summer in the open sea class during the world championships in Monaco.

We want to inspire the entire maritime industry by showing what is possible with a hydrogen-powered boat. Together we can take the necessary steps towards sustainable shipping.
