Call for participation / call for papers

Welcome to the 2009 World Robotic Sailing Championship and
International Robotic Sailing Conference. This is the second edition
of the WRSC/IRSC launched in Austria in May 2007, as a spinoff of the
Microtransat initiative. The WRSC is a competition open to fully
autonomous and unmanned sailing boats up to 4m in length and will be
organised as a series of fleet regattas at open sea and demonstrations
of sailing maneuvers. The detailed sailing instructions will be posted
soon in the website.

The International Robotic Sailing Conference will be held in parallel
with WRSC, in a format similar to the 2008 edition. The aim of the
conference is to promote the dissemination of works worldwide on the
various enginnering challenges around the development and operation of
unmanned fully autonomous sailing boats.
