Electric Boat Challenge

Lord Northcliffe commissioned the Harmsworth Trophy to encourage development within the sport.  The Trustees are keen to see this philosophy continue in the future and have introduced a new Challenge for electrically-powered vessels that will continue the tradition of encouraging design and technical innovation.

The Challenge will take the form of a time trial from Poole to Cowes and back.  The Trophy will be awarded to the fastest electrically powered boat to complete the course in a calendar year, commencing January 2025.
