We have updated the website! We are still in the process of transferring all of the information from the old site, so a few important pages are still missing.

New pictures have been added to the photo gallery so you can check out what what it was like at Sailbot 2011!

It has been a long and busy year preparing for sailBot. GaelForce 2 competed in SailBot 2011 in early June 2011, in Anapolis Maryland. Facing stiff competition the team placed 6th overall.

With the school year quickly approaching, focus is on tweaking and testing GealForce 2, as well as preparing for the influx of new members in the fall.As well as designing new boat for 2012.

Sailbot 2010, Recruiting

MAST competed with GaelForce in early June in SailBot 2010, in Kingston Ontario. Despite many setbacks throughout the week, we finished 3rd overall, and tied for 2nd place in the long distance race.

With the start of the school year, MAST is doing heavy recruitment. Last week we spoke to over 500 students and reached out to many more through a poster campaign. After an information night on a rainy Thursday, we taught new members the basics of sailing with a trip to the lake on Saturday. Despite high winds, everyone had a great time trying out the radio-controlled boat. Special thanks to John and the RC sailors for their advice and donation of the Marblehead. Please contact us if you are interested in joining the team and couldn’t make the meetings this week.

Regular design and build meetings will commence this week and continue regularily until December; the focus initially will be on getting new members up to speed with key skills required to work on the boat, by making immediate improvements to GaelForce.

Christine spoke to many people at Innovation Expo 2010, and hope they enjoyed hearing about the boat and team as much as she enjoyed sharing.

The Photos page has some new pictures up from construction this year, which is moving along nicely.

The boat has been named, by popular vote, to be GaelForce.
