A Challenge for change
The SuMoth Challenge unites student teams worldwide to design, build, and race IMCA Moth class foiling boats. SuMoth, short for Sustainable Moth, reflects the competition’s focus on innovation, hands-on learning, and sustainably oriented practices.
Vision
The SuMoth Challenge envisions a world where classroom theory meets real-world innovation. By guiding teams through cycles of design, building, and testing, it inspires students to push the limits of performance, embrace sustainable practices, and transform ideas into high-speed, hands-on sailing experiences.
Objectives
From the ground up and fueled by passion, each team designs, builds, and tests its own boat from concept to launch, applying sustainable oriented materials and production methods to reduce environmental impact. Teams are evaluated not only on speed and performance, but also on engineering quality, creativity, and sustainability.
Impact
More than a competition, the SuMoth Challenge is a collaborative research platform where ideas are tested, technologies validated, and the next generation of innovators gains practical, high-performance experience. Through its inclusive approach, the Challenge also seeks to address gender inequalities in the marine industry, encouraging diverse participation and empowering all students to take the lead in shaping the future.
