CUSail is a Cornell Engineering Project Team comprised of students from different colleges and majors at Cornell University. We work together as a team to build a fully autonomous robotic sailboat for competition and oceanic research. Each year we design our boat using CAD and then manufacture it using composites and other materials. In June, we compete in SailBot, the International Robotic Sailing Competition held annually. We hope that from our experiences in the competition we can achieve our long term goal of finding an optimal boat design to create a fleet of autonomous vessels for all different types of oceanic and environmental research in addition to autonomously sailing across the Atlantic Ocean.
