I work with the Roboat team which won the Microtransat competitions in 2006 and 2007. As you might know, the big challenge to cross the Atlantic ocean is scheduled for Autumn 2008. Prior to this event we plan to organise one more competition for autonomous sailing boats on Lake Neudsiedl in Austria (ca. 60km from Vienna). The intention is to provide - ahead of the transatlantic crossing - a training environment and a competitive challenge amongst companions with alike intentions. This should be a chance to (final-) test our boats, equipement and crew before heading out to see. Furthermore this event on a lake would give new teams the opportunity to participate who are not yet ready to sail across the Atlantic Ocean.
The event is set to last a week, prospective the 17th - 25th of May 2008. Races would be held from Wednesday until Sunday after a few days for test runs and social program.
If you are interesed in this event don't hesitate to ask for more details at contact@innoc.at. And have look on our Roboat
