Politecnico di Milano on the podium of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge

Great debut of Physis PEB with the IONE catamaran


Excellent result for Physis PEB, the team of Politecnico di Milano, that last weekend joined for the first time ever the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, the only event in the world dedicated to boating innovation and sustainability.

The over 70 students currently enrolled in different Programmes at Politecnico di Milano, led by a group of professors from the Department of Energy and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, ranked third.

The Races started on Thursday the 7th of July with the Qualifying Race, where the Polimi team got the best performance, beating also last-year winners by 1 second.

The Endurance Race was very tough for @Physis PEB team due to some technical problems, which forced the team to compete only for 1 hour out of 3 total hours. The result was the 9th position out of 13 participants, with a good performance during the race.

Saturday was the last day, with two races. The team won the silver medal in the Slalom Race, with only 3 seconds delay from the winners. The Championship Race saw the @Physis PEB boat win the quarter-final and the semifinal and a strong fight in the final that was not in his favour.

Congratulations to the over 70 team-member students and all Polimi professors and Labs for their support to the team.
