Hosted by the Fundació Barcelona Capital Nàutica, this kick-off isn't just an introduction to a competition—it is the first day of professional immersion for our students into the real-world maritime industry, cutting-edge prototyping, and sustainable naval technology.

Who is it for? Participating student teams, university faculty, mentors, sponsors, and tech-sailing enthusiasts.

What’s on the Agenda?

• Meet the 2027 Lineup: For the first time, we will officially introduce all the "on-board" engineering and design teams who have stepped up to tackle this year's intense challenge.

• The 2027 Roadmap & Rules: Get the first look at the official 2027 program calendar. We will reveal the key milestone deadlines, mentoring workshop schedules, and the updated technical constraints for this edition's design challenge.

• The Legacy Exhibition: Learn from the past to build the future. We will have a dedicated display featuring original RC prototypes from previous editions. Get a close-up look at what worked, what evolved, and draw inspiration from the engineering choices of past alumni.

Secure your spot and stay tuned for the detailed schedule of the day!
