EVENT DESCRIPTION:
As the first student team to participate in the prestigious Little Cup C-Class World
Championship, team 'Rafale' of Montreal's École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) has
come a long way in a short time to design and build a C-Class catamaran. ese are high
performance multihull sailboats with a maximal length of 25 feet and 14 feet width of
width. e sail area of the rigid wing sail must be smaller than 300 square feet. e team
of students challenged themselves to design a second boat which is 20% lighter than
their previous one while maximizing its rigidity.
PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN:
• Challenges and technology
• Composite optimization of the boat elements
• Implementing additive manufacturing techniques in the design process
Composites Optimization of a
Foiling C-Class Catamaran
