Take part in the Toulon Provence Regatta 2026 by racing your own 1mJ IA or 2.7 Open IA* class sailboat.

WHERE? Mourillon beaches

WHEN? 9 May 2026

THE OBJECTIVE : Demonstrate your ability to design a scale model of an autonomous sailboat and come and measure yourself against the other competitors (schools, clubs, works councils, etc.) to try and win this innovation challenge sponsored by the DGA. Particular attention will be paid to the degree of autonomy of the sailboats to optimise the driving strategy (multiplication of sensors, AI algorithms, etc.).

AWARDS CEREMONY : Official prize-giving ceremony with the other metric classes on the afternoon of Sunday 10 May 2026 and presentation of your model sailboats on the esplanade of the Préfecture Maritime.

All types of innovation will be promoted by the DGA.

PROCEDURE : The boats will race independently in Match Racing around a course to be defined by the committee.

Schools wishing to take part can do so in pairs with a company or can take advantage of a radio-controlled model sailboat to be modified for Match Racing (limited number).

* 1mJ IA : 1 metre Artificial Intelligence Gauge

Open AI : Length between 1m and 2.7m
