Ultimately, such a system should be used in place or in addition to current conventional systems such as drifting buoys or oceanograc ships. The paper introduces the electrical, mechanical and algorithmic realization of the sailboat and then demonstrates its robustness through several missions. %G English %L hal-00914017 %U https://hal.science/hal-00914017 %~ UNIV-BREST %~ INSTITUT-TELECOM %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-UBS %~ IFREMER %~ ENSTA-BRETAGNE-STIC %~ ENIB %~ LAB-STICC_ENIB %~ LAB-STICC %~ TDS-MACS %~ LOPS %~ CMM %~ INSTITUTS-TELECOM
