SP80

SP80, a world sailing speed record as an innovation lab! SP80 is a young Swiss engineering company, spin-off from EPFL. Passionate about sailing and technology, the team has set an ambitious objective: breaking the world sailing speed record and reaching 80 knots (150km/h) solely powered by the wind. In addition to the sporting and technological feat, the goal is to bring together a talented team, a large network of partners and to develop impactful innovations for a more sustainable future. Having built its unique boat and launched it for the first time in 2023, the team is now based in Leucate, in the south of France. The first speed runs are scheduled for the end of 2024. The dream is getting closer!
