Abstract
This paper demonstrates the relevance of using autonomous sailboats for the realization of long missions (several weeks) devoted to collecting measurements and observation of the marine environment at low cost. Ultimately, such a system should be used in place or in addition to current conventional systems such as drifting buoys or oceanografic ships. The paper introduces the electrical, mechanical and algorithmic realization of the sailboat and then demonstrates its robustness through several missions.
