Robotic sailboat back in B.C. after a year drifting at sea
A self-navigating robotic sailboat built by University of British Columbia students is back in Vancouver following its successful rescue at sea. The 5.5-metre-long, solar-powered “sailbot” started out on a planned journey to Ireland in August 2016, but was blown off course by strong winds and eventually lost at sea.
