The RoBoat team from Austria won the 2007 Microtransat. The France IBoat was a strong contender but had some technical difficulties.

“The Microtransat is a transatlantic race of fully autonomous sailing boats. The race aims to stimulate the development of autonomous sailing boats through friendly competition. The Transatlantic race is currently planned for late 2008 with several smaller races taking place before then.”
