For operational ease and clarity the BME Solar Boat Team is divided\u00a0 into three distinct areas of operation: Design, Electronics and Marketing.<\/p>\n<p>The team&#8217;s goal is to participate in the Dutch Solar Challenge World Cup and the Solar 1 Monte Carlo Cup. <!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Rendering to reality<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/Rendering_4824031.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6195\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6195 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/Rendering_4824031.png\" alt=\"Rendering\" width=\"690\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/Rendering_4824031.png 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/Rendering_4824031-300x135.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p>From the original CAD renderings the carbon composite hull progresses toward reality &#8211; as the image sequence below shows.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/mould_4824247.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6196\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6196 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/mould_4824247.jpg\" alt=\"mould\" width=\"690\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/mould_4824247.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/mould_4824247-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/moulding_4824342.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6198\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6198 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/moulding_4824342.jpg\" alt=\"moulding\" width=\"690\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/moulding_4824342.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/moulding_4824342-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/hull-moulding_4824483.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6201\" target=\"_blank\"><div class=\"full-size-image container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6201 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/hull-moulding_4824483.jpg\" alt=\"hull moulding\" width=\"690\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/hull-moulding_4824483.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2016\/04\/hull-moulding_4824483-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/div><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Speaking to the BME Solar Boat Team about their progress to date, they said:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It has been a delightful experience for us to handcraft the hull which is the culmination of more than a year of engineering work.
