12-04-2017

Dear Solar Teams,

On Wednesday, May 3rd we would like to invite you and your team members to join an inspiring solar evening!
During last year a lot of new developments have taken place. As you maybe already know the Dutch Solar Challenge will continue under a new name: Solar Sport One.
Of course competition, speed, innovation, entrepreneurship and fun will remain the main ingredients of the racing events. You can imagine we have a lot to inform you about!

We aim for two races this year:
The first race scheduled is at the Batavia Haven in Lelystad, June 9th and 10th.
For the second race we are asked to join the 40th edition of the Wereldhavendagen in Rotterdam, September 1st – 3rd. This means racing in front of the eyes of more than 350.000 spectators!

We would like to invite you to bring you up to date and have an inspiring get together full of news and discussion. This to start a new decade of solar boat racing!
