Solar Splash

Solar Splash is the World Championship of intercollegiate Solar/Electric boating.  Its official name is "an international intercollegiate solar/electric boat regatta," and it takes place over five days.  Technical Inspections are done on the first day, and the remainder of the time is occupied by five on-the-water competitive events.  Points are earned in 7 categories starting with Technical reports that are submitted before teams arrive at the competition.  On-site competitions include Visual Displays and Workmanship.  On-the-water events begin with a Sprint and a Maneuverability qualifier.  This is followed by an event called the Solar Slalom, which is a combination of speed and maneuverability.  The final days are spent in the Sprint and Endurance events.
