Since a few years students of the Faculty of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology, Gdansk University of Technology , have designed and built untypical floating units. Until last year their efforts were focused mainly on leg-driven boats. The boats of interesting design have taken part in yearly competitions : the International Waterbike Regatta. Their advanced design made it possible to compete with the best boats from Croatia, Holland, Germany, Turkey and Italy. Recently the students have designed and built a solarenergy- driven boat. It is the catamaran Energa Solar which took part in a prestigious regatta : the Frisian Nuon Solar Challenge carried out in Holland in summer 2006
