VPLP 170′ Catamaran
Un bateau, développé avec la collaboration de Patrick le Quément, qui s’inscrit dans la lignée d’Hemisphere et de Boréas, conçu à la demande d’un client, mais qui n’a à ce jour pas abouti. Ce VPLP 170 devait être encore plus grand qu’Hemisphere dont il se voulait une évolution.
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.
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.
L’Atelier des tropiques
The Studio in the Tropics, or studio boat as it was described in a special exhibition at the Quai Branly Museum (13 November 2018–10 February 2019), is the project of Titouan Lamazou, artist and inaugural winner of the Vendée Globe.
Noah 88 (Kenzo)
Noah 88 was a preliminary project undertaken in collaboration with the former owner of Douce France in a bid to develop a range of motor-catamarans which could maintain a cruising speed of 12–15 knots. The Noah range was designed for comfort and habitability with broad living areas spread over three levels. All three models feature cosy […]
Outremer 5X
Designed for boat owners wanting to sail round the world, the Outremer 5X is a daggerboard catamaran built in cored laminate. She is light, fast and features an excellent length-to-weight ratio which allows her to clock up impressive speeds in light winds.
Mousetrap
Designed for undertaking cruises around the globe, Mousetrap was laid up by CDK Technologies, assembled and finished by JFA Yachts, and launched in 2012. Her impressive dimensions (110’ long, 46’ beam, 147’6” air draught) make her one of the largest cruising catamarans in the world built in carbon fibre.
Pescavel
Pescavel is an extension of the work undertaken for the Lokeya, in other words, a 24 m fishing catamaran commissioned by Réunion trollers in the Indian Ocean who wanted to make fuel savings and use more environmentally fishing methods that wouldn’t impact their competitiveness.
