S-Jet / Air Seas
The S-Jet, developed in collaboration with Airbus, went through a number of preliminary designs. The concept was to adapt the control system for winglets, those devices at the tips of aeroplane wings and tails designed to reduce drag, to a 26 m catamaran.
No Limit
No Limit is the fruit a collaboration between Outremer and Yann Marilley, pro yachtsman and boss of a yard in La Trinité. It was also an opportunity to combine racing expertise with cruising considerations. Wanting to develop a fast catamaran from an existing model, the skipper customized the hulls of an Outremer 5X to produce a high-performance racing boat.
Lagoon Motor Yacht
An extension of the Smartboat, the Lagoon MY wasn’t initially designed as a motorboat but a sailing yacht with the underlying idea of retaining the benefits of a catamaran (stability, independence and space for the owners).
Hospital Vessel
Similar to the ambulance boat that has already been launched, the Hospital Vessel is being developed in collaboration with a doctor who is aiming to provide medical care, including surgery, to the inhabitants of remote regions, in particular river populations. This 112’ motor catamaran features four deck levels to include a waiting room, an examination […]
Manifesto
Manifesto is a “concept boat” and a veritable policy statement from VPLP because, rather than designing a boat with several superimposed decks which are completely detached from the sea and nature, the firm argues for a similar surface area spread across a beamier catamaran which is more stable, closer to the water, and infused with fresh air and natural light.
VPLP 170′ Catamaran
This commission represents a natural successor to Hemisphere and Boreas, but has yet to be built. VPLP 170 should have been even bigger than Hemisphere with which she shares many design features.
Hydros – C-Class
In collaboration with HDS, Team Hydros and the Decision SA yard, VPLP designed two C-Class catamarans for Team Hydros, built in carbon fibre using Thin Ply Technology. These two boats represented Switzerland at Falmouth for the 2013 Little America’s Cup, securing second place. The Hydros C-Class catamarans are powered by a rigid wingsail in three […]
VPLP 78
Fruit of an in-depth study driven principally by designer Patrick le Quément, a long-time collaborator with VPLP, this 78’ luxury catamaran (23.95 m) remains in the project stage for the moment. Her future owner can expect exhilarating times at the tiller and superlatively comfortable cruising with a skeleton crew (two crew and eight passengers).
Tan 66
Developed in collaboration with a boat dealer in Dubai, the Tan 66 was designed to sail at very high speeds while remaining easy to handle, although production has yet to begin. To be built entirely in carbon fibre for greater velocity, rigidity and power, this innovative catamaran has been optimized (helm stations, mast amidships, roller-furling foresails) so she can reach high speeds safely and with little effort on the part of the crew.
Lagoon 4th generation
This fourth generation of the series, which includes the 52, 39 and 42, was the first to feature the work of designer Patrick le Quément, who has continued to collaborate with VPLP ever since.
