Trans-Atlantic attempt for unmanned boat
The designers behind a "thinking" yacht are hoping to break a world record by sending it across the Atlantic Ocean without any human assistance. The 13-foot boat was designed and built by an eight-strong team of third-year engineering students at a Swiss science university. The students are planning to take the boat to a robotic sailing regatta in July, before launching it into the Microtransat Transatlantic challenge in early September.
