We are offering a new challenge for new powerboat designs. These new designs can be in any material and should offer efficient cruising opportunities for a family, be an attractive model with good seakeeping abilities and have some reserve power to perform above cruising speed, if necessary. This is not a contest to design the most fuel-efficient boat in the world; it is a challenge to bring fuel efficiency to the market in a balance of practically, pleasure, and beauty.
