THE MAIN PROJECT
OF THE ASSOCIATION
AHSB is our main project of the association and a continuation of our successful multi-year project. Adria Hydrofoil with which we competed in the international competition of radio-controlled boats Hydrocontest and today we are participating in the prestigious Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The competition is held in the Principality of Monaco under the auspices of Prince Albert II and numerous sponsors.
After an exciting week at the 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge, we returned with some interesting results! In the Energy class, we achieved an outstanding 4th place, and it is worth noting that we finished on the podium in the most demanding endurance race, placing among the 4 teams that successfully completed the race. In the Solar class, we took the 8th place. The week was filled with work, camaraderie, knowledge exchange, and most importantly, a competitive spirit! We would like to thank all the sponsors, donors, and everyone who supported us throughout this year leading up to this competition. Without you, these results would have been difficult to achieve. The achieved results inspire us to continue growing and progressing, and we look forward to new challenges!
We bring excellent news from Monaco! Yesterday, an endurance race was held, and our vessels, despite the very demanding weather conditions, achieved exceptional placings. Teredo Navalis achieved 8th place in the solar category, whose race was shortened after 2 hours due to strong waves, while Malo Vitra achieved an outstanding 3rd place in the energy class and is one of only 4 vessels that managed to sail all 4 hours of the race!
Today our energy class ship "Malo Vitra" sailed its first qualifying rounds. We are happy to report that it had a good ranking and we are surprised by the maximum speed of 13 knots achieved in extremely rough seas!

"And they should be encouraged. These are the guys that will be talked about again."
"We congratulate the team on their success and hope that it will not be the last of such a large scale."
"A year of dedicated work stands behind the vessel."
"In difficult days for the Croatian shipbuilding industry, we also have a bright example that with the effort and knowledge of young people in Croatia, we can achieve a lot."
