From Sketch to Race
in 4 Months
ABOUT
Barcelona is the ultimate global hub for maritime innovation, and this program is where the next generation of naval engineering takes shape. RC Sailing Barcelona is a fast-paced, hands-on 4-month engineering sprint that challenges participants to bridge the gap between raw theory and the open water.
An Inclusive Educational Platform
The program welcomes a diverse ecosystem of participants, bridging the gap between university classrooms and technical vocational training (Formación Profesional). By uniting engineering students from all technical branches with specialized vocational and design students, RC Sailing Barcelona fosters a real-world teamwork environment where varied skill sets collaborate to solve complex naval engineering challenges.

Our Process
-

Month 1: Conception & Hydrodynamics
Transforming raw ideas into technical reality. Teams move rapidly from draft sketches to full 3D CAD modeling, establishing hull geometry and naval architecture fundamentals.
-

Month 2: Material Science & Prototyping
Hands-on workshop immersion. Teams begin perfecting composite layups and optimizing 3D printing parameters for structural bio-plastics, turning digital files into physical components.
-

Month 3: DFM Integration & Modular Assembly
The pieces come together. Focus shifts to streamlining the assembly line, minimizing hardware, and ensuring that any part prone to racing stress can be swapped out or repaired in minutes.
-

Month 4: Testing, Tuning & The Regatta
The moment of truth. Prototypes hit the water at Port Vell. Teams spend the final weeks analyzing data, fine-tuning sail trim and electronics, and concluding the program with an intense, high-stakes university regatta.
WHAT SETS US APART
"When you know your design has to face real wind, real waves, and fierce competition, every millimeter matters."
RC Sailing Barcelona serves as a direct pipeline to the maritime industry. By compressing a complex industrial lifecycle into four months, participants don't just leave with a functioning, high-tech RC boat—they exit with the exact project management, prototyping, and problem-solving skills demanded by the global marine sector.
