After three years of studies, conception and construction, l'Hydroptère.ch, the little brother of the legendary Hydroptère, will be launched into Lake Geneva on Friday, 8th October.

This trial platform, created in partnership with the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), designed to test new solutions with a view to the construction of the future Hydroptère maxi, will take flight!

In the presence of their main partners and their team, Alain Thébault and Jean-Mathieu Bourgeon have the pleasure of presenting, to the press and their guests, this new technology, and are impatient to try the first sail.

The forecast conditions should permit a first sail on Lake Geneva on Saturday.
