From first flight to MEBC
After more than three years of development, the Lobst’Air finally took to the water. Following an intense period of testing, repairs, and refinements, the team achieved its first successful flight above the waves, marking a major milestone for the project. Only a few days later, Swiss Solar Boat headed to the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. Throughout the competition, the team faced technical challenges, demanding races, and difficult sea conditions that put both the boat and its crew to the test. Through constant adaptation and teamwork, they kept the boat racing and ultimately brought home an incredible overall victory. But the adventure is far from over. The Lobst’Air remains a floating laboratory, with plenty of room for further development, testing, and improvement. More than the results themselves, this journey reflects the determination, resilience, and collective effort that have driven the project from the beginning.
