The concrete canoe regatta will take place for the 19th time in Brandenburg an der Havel from the 14^th to the 15^th of June 2024. Students from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam will once again be taking part, competing against teams from all over Germany in self-built concrete boats.

Preparations are already in full swing: last winter semester, the calculations for the canoe were carried out as part of the "Konstruktiv" project. These now serve, with a few adjustments, as the basis for the current design. The aim is to produce two boats for the sporting competition, each with a men's, women's and mixed team. In addition, the Casino of the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam is also producing a floating tram for the open class competition.

The concrete canoe regatta is more than just a sporting competition. This event is about the perfect combination of concrete construction technology, boat design and teamwork. The challenge: to build the lightest and most robust concrete canoe possible that floats and is fast.

Building on the success of the last regatta ¨C including a gold medal for the most beautiful regatta shirt ¨C the team from the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam is hoping for another award-winning regatta this year.
