Electric Boat

The 10th edition of the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge (MEBC) has wrapped up at the Yacht Club de Monaco (YCM) and it gives a compelling look at the future of electric boating.

To encourage more participation from institutions that may not have naval architecture or boat construction expertise, the YCM introduced the Energy Class competition.
