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
Dessiné pour des propriétaires désireux de parcourir le monde, construit en sandwich polyester, ce catamaran à dérive, léger et rapide, présente un excellent ratio longueur-poids qui lui permet d’afficher de belles vitesses dans les petits airs.
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.
Moxie
The specifications for the Moxie 61 were to design a fast, light, reliable and easy to sail cruising catamaran for boat owners looking for performance and style. With her 62’ LOA, 31’6” beam and sleek profile, the Moxie 61 more than lived up to her remit. She is – along with Ciliam – one of the first sailing catamarans to have an aft-of-centre mast, resulting in a more efficient rig.
Hemisphere
Yet another exceptional boat! Launched in 2011, this huge 145’ luxury catamaran is the ultimate blue-water boat for cruising the Pacific Ocean. Built in aluminium with carbon-fibre masts and spars, her sloop rig carries 1,123 m² of sail reaching and 856 m² on a wind.
Smartboat
The remit for the Smartboat was to design an affordable yet modern 23’ single-hull motorboat. Her attention-grabbing lines are sleek and streamlined thanks to some very meticulous structural studies leveraging computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The goal was to enhance the boat’s movement through the water to generate minimal waves and wake, thus reducing the size of the engine and, ultimately, fuel consumption.
Boreas
This project from the drawing board was intended to be a variation of the catamaran super-yachts designed previously by VPLP. Her major features include her length (146’), her sturdiness (aluminium), a vast open-air flybridge with two steering wheels, and a spacious deck saloon with a glass bulkhead which contributes to optimizing her weight and thus improving her performance.
SIG 45
SIG is a range of luxury cruising catamarans designed to be fast, innovative and easy to handle. The intention is to make 60’ and 80’ versions available, but so far only the 45s have made it into production.
Lightspeed 32
he LIGHTSPEED 32 features all the latest sailing, engineering and construction innovations. She was developed by a team including former US Olympic 470 skipper Kristina Stookey, Alinghi’s chief engineer Dirk Kramers and the boatbuilders of the America’s Cup Class, as well as Stewart Wiley and Ted Brown of Al Fresco Composites.
