MLC Technologies are providing electrical and electronic support to GB1 in their bid to win the 38th America's Cup. 

The America's Cup is the oldest international trophy in world sport, starting in 1851 with a race around the Isle of Wight. The race has never yet been won by Britain. The next America's Cup is due to take place in Naples, July 2027

The current Defender of the America's Cup is Emirates Team New Zealand, representing the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron.

MLC Technologies continues to support SubSea Craft across a range of advanced maritime technology projects, providing electrical and electronic engineering support.

SubSea Craft is a privately funded British company operating within the advanced maritime technology sector, focused on the development of innovative high-performance marine systems for defence and specialist applications. Their flagship platform, VICTA, is a unique surface-to-subsurface craft capable of rapidly transitioning from above the waterline to fully submerged operation, enabling the discreet delivery and recovery of divers, equipment, and payloads.

Working alongside the SubSea Craft engineering team, MLC Technologies provides ongoing support across a variety of electrical integration, systems engineering, and technical development tasks, contributing to the continued evolution of this highly innovative British maritime capability.

MLC Technologies assisting with electrical integrator on e-Ginny, the conversion of a 20-metre Mercurio crew transfer vessel from diesel to 100% electric power. The project equips the vessel with over 2.5 MWh of battery capacity, electric propulsion, and both shoreside and offshore charging solutions, enabling zero-emission operation with extended offshore endurance.

Our role covers design review and feedback, integration, testing, and commissioning of electrical and electronic systems, delivered in collaboration with Goodchild Marine Services, Artemis Technologies, Volvo Penta, Danfoss, Corvus Energy and other partners. This work demonstrates our expertise in complex electrical integration and our commitment to advancing sustainable marine technology.

MLC Technologies is proud to be working with Sébastien Simon, Group Dubreuil, and the wider technical team as the electrical design and integration partner for their new IMOCA campaign, launching in 2026.

Our role includes the complete electrical architecture, systems integration, and onboard electrical infrastructure for the vessel. Designed for one of the most demanding environments in offshore racing, the project requires a lightweight, highly reliable, and fully integrated electrical platform capable of delivering maximum performance and redundancy at sea.

Working closely with the build team, technical partners, and leading electrical suppliers, MLC Technologies is integrating advanced power distribution, energy management, monitoring, and control systems to support both the Vendée Globe campaign and the intensive build-up race programme leading into the event.

Following Sébastien Simon’s outstanding 3rd place finish in the 2024 Vendée Globe, including a new solo monohull 24-hour distance record of 615.33 nautical miles, this latest IMOCA project represents another major step forward in offshore racing performance and technology.

We are extremely proud to be part of this exciting campaign and to support Sébastien Simon and Group Dubreuil on the road to the next Vendée Globe
