Wannsea

As part of a partnership with the WannSea team at the Technical University of Berlin, the next generation of a sustainable boat cockpit is being developed—specifically designed for the 2026 Monaco Energy Boat Challenge. The project combines a clear focus on efficiency, lightweight construction, and sustainability with technical feasibility in production. 

The high-performance cockpit structure stands out thanks to innovative design approaches that enable exceptional weight reduction while maintaining high structural integrity. The use of mushroom mycelium-based components and state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies not only saves material but also makes a forward-looking contribution to the sustainable production of structures in the maritime sector.

Particular emphasis is placed on the ergonomics of the cockpit and the optimal accessibility of all controls. The layout of the steering and control systems has been specifically tailored and optimized to meet the needs of pilots in racing conditions. Intuitive operation, short response times, and a comfortable seating position and posture contribute significantly to safety and performance—especially under dynamic racing conditions.

In parallel, a holistic design concept is being developed for the boat’s visual design, which optimally combines functionality and brand impact.

WannSea is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to developing an emission-free, energy-efficient racing boat. With their prototype, they will compete in the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge 2026—an international competition that serves as a platform for sustainable innovations in maritime mobility.
