The competitions
The location of the competition alternates each year. The next competition, in the summer of 2020, will take place in Gosport in England.
The competitions constitute a privileged moment to compare our project with those of teams from North America, Europe and even Oceania. Several criteria are evaluated during competitions: speed, safety, technical rigor, innovation and manufacturing quality. The competitions allow us to meet teams from all over the world as well as resource people with expertise in the marine and military field, but also to be able to travel overseas and live greatly enriching experiences.
