This summer, we had the pleasure of hosting incredible participants at the Foiling SuMoth Challenge. While Polito Sailing Team from Politecnico di Torino didn't take home the top prize, they absolutely stood out by delivering the best Lifecycle Assessments (LCA) using MarineShift360.
Polito entered the challenge with two boats, Sula and Victoria, and provided comprehensive impact reports for both. What made their reports truly exceptional? The team not only mastered the correct terminologies and demonstrated a deep understanding of the LCA methodology, but they also embedded sustainability into their designs from the very start. For Victoria, they used a wooden hull mold without a plug, significantly reducing the environmental impact—a creative and forward-thinking approach!
We asked Dario Vucinic, the team lead, directly how MarineShift360 supported their efforts, and here's what they had to say: "Using MarineShift360 has been crucial for our team in developing our latest projects. Thanks to the software, we were able to thoroughly analyze the environmental impact of our materials and processes, making sustainability our guiding wind. This year, we are focusing on building a skiff, and despite the change in direction, our mission remains unchanged: to perfect our manufacturing techniques, reduce and reuse waste, and carefully select eco-friendly materials. With tools like MarineShift360, we aim to make our sailing boats a tangible example of innovative sustainability, proving that high performance and a low footprint can sail together."
Let’s give a big round of applause to these talented students and future engineers for their remarkable achievement! 🎉👏
