The Future Starts Here

The Revel Sailing Team, composed of students from the Polo Nautico of the University of Genoa – La Spezia campus, develops racing boats born from the intersection of nautical design, materials research, and technological innovation.

The collaboration with Mascherpa began with Alba, a racing skiff of approximately 4 meters built for the 1001VELAcup, and continues today with Kraken, the new single-seater boat designed for the SuMoth Challenge 2026.

In both projects, Mascherpa supported the team as a technical partner, providing composite materials, structural adhesives, consumables, and application know-how to support the various construction phases.

The result is a collaboration that grows over time, accompanying students in the development of increasingly complex, sustainable, and high-performance vessels.

Alba, the first chapter of the partnership

In 2025, the collaboration took shape with Alba, a racing skiff of approximately 4 meters developed for the 1001VELAcup. The project was created to combine performance and environmental respect, complying with regulations that required the use of 70% natural, recycled, or recyclable materials.

After the competition, Alba was also presented at the Venice Boat Show and the Genoa Boat Show 2025, showcasing the team’s work at two major boating events.
