University of Padua students take part in the 1001VelaCup by designing and constructing financial and environmentally sustainable sailboats used to race in the three-day competitive regatta.
Unipd Mètis Vela Team spends 12 months preparing the design and construction of new sailboats and improving existing vessels. Testing the fleet takes place in the spring along the Adriatic Sea and the summer along Lago di Garda. An electronics design team investigates the use of innovative nautical detection devices while administrators ensure the efficient use of all available resources.
Led by Prof Andrea Lazzaretto of the University Of Padua Department of Industrial Engineering, the team continues to welcome students from various University departments and schools. Interdisciplinary integrity is one of the teams’ greatest strengths and provides students with the opportunity to test into practice what they learn in the classroom.
