5. Ice skating and the start of Production

The weather turned so cold for such a long period that ice skating on lakes in the Netherlands got possible, an opportunity that should not be missed! Hydro Motion makes no exception for this, it is important to also relax next to counter the busy design sessions.

  • Simone ice skating.

A new chapter for this year’s team had commenced, the production phase. This would be busier than the design phase, since you don’t have to wait for replies from outside sources anymore. Most things are designed or ordered and the assembly can start. For Electronics this was a very busy period and we even had some help from other departments to stay on schedule.

  • Even other departments helped with the production of electronics.

However, it is also more rewarding that the design phase, you can see the things that you made digitally and design choices becoming materialized. Gradually you start having a more complete boat and everyone’s contribution becomes more clear.

  • The side hulls being wrapped so we can enter Monaco with a flashy boat.
