Building an Autonomous Sailboat That Pursues to Cross the Atlantic Ocean

Below is the design of the new autonomous boat that will attempt to cross the Atlantic. It will be built from carbon fiber, fiberglass and Kevlar. The total length will be 2.2 metres (7.2 feet). The long and narrow hull is optimized for speed. Instead of a typical sail, there is a rigid wingsail as seen on modern yachts.

First, I am going to build a miniaturized version to test the hardware and software. I will keep you updated on the progress!
