Welcome to the World Robotic Sailing Championship and International Robotic Sailing Conference (WRSC/IRSC). The WRSC is a competition open to fully autonomous and unmanned sailing boats up to 4m in length. This year's WRSC/IRSC is being held in Lübeck, Germany. It is the fourth edition of the regatta, with previous events held in Austria (2008), Portugal (2009), and Canada (2010). This year competitons in three classes are planned: the open class with boats of up to 4 m as defined by the MicroTransat rules, the Sailbot class with boats of up to 2 m as defined by the Sailbot rules, and a One Design MicroMagic class.

The accompanying International Robotic Sailing Conference (IRSC) provides an ideal venue to discuss the broad range of scientific problems involved in the desgin and development of autonomous sailboats.
