SSPA supports the Sports & Technology initiative
During Volvo Ocean Race in Gothenburg, Chalmers showed an exhibition with unique optimist dinghies in the "Race Village". This was a result from research projects where students made the calculations needed to construct the dinghies in eight different materials. SPPA supported and helped building the dinghies.
