The format
Raced in the Energy Class
Every selective is contested in the Energy Class — the Challenge’s flagship format. Each team receives an identical, standardised catamaran hull from the Yacht Club de Monaco and designs the most efficient green-energy propulsion it can.
Same boat, every stop — so the World Series compares teams on engineering and efficiency alone, not budget.
