One hull, identical for all. A world of student engineering on top. Meet the Energy Class catamaran and the teams racing it on Darwin Harbour, each chasing one prize: a ticket to the Monaco World Final.
A standardised catamaran hull supplied by the Yacht Club de Monaco. Each team designs and builds its own cockpit and zero-emission propulsion — electric, solar or hydrogen — within a 10 kWh energy budget. Launched in 2018, the Energy Class is the historic MEBC discipline.
Four Energy Class wins in the last five Monaco editions. For 2027 the team races a dual-source powertrain pairing a custom battery pack with a hydrogen fuel-cell system.
