Racing is as much a part of Monaco<\/a> <\/strong>as tennis is a part of Wimbledon. Earlier this year, thousands of spectators watched as Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton furthered Mercedes domination at the Monaco Grand Prix<\/a><\/strong> in a season which has seen a huge step forward in the engineering in the cars and a move to hybrid engines. The racing in Monaco<\/strong><\/a> is far from over however and the boating world is certainly not being left behind in terms of innovation as the Solar1 cup came to Monte Carlo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

29 teams from 11 different countries arrived with their entirely solar powered boats for a weekend of racing. The President of Solar1, Sergei Dobroserdov, sees Solar1, “As a great opportunity to animate and excite a new generation.” The likes of Mangusta<\/a><\/strong> are as popular as ever in the yachting industry but, just as the Toyota Prius has come to rival V8 powered sports cars, so we might anticipate a new range of luxury yachts<\/a><\/strong> in the near future.<\/p>\n
