Current Boats
Gaelforce II
Built during the 2010/2011 school year to compete in the Sailbot compeition. The Gaelforce II is a 2 meter long monohull design mad from carbon and kevlar fibre reenforced plastic. It competed in the 2011 Sailbot competition and came in 6th place. We will be planning to use it in the upcoming competition this year and will continue making improvements.
The 4m Transatlantic
Is currently under construction and should be finished before the water freezes over this year to be tested. This is the boat we are planning to send across the Atlantic ocean within the next two years. The rounded hull has been built for stability and strength rather than speed. The Atlantic Ocean is will be far longer than a single set of batteries can handle, and will be powered using solar panels and a wind turbine.
To keep in communication with the boat, we will have a satellite uplink to the internet to provide us with images and its current location.
