California Solar Regatta – Hull
The Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) hosts an annual Solar Regatta competition. This year, two Cal Poly teams worked together to design and partially build a race-ready boat. Our team was responsible for the design of the hull. We designed a catamaran-style vessel for a single pilot to take on speed, maneuverability, and endurance races.
