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.
HY-X
After a very fruitful initial collaboration in the C-Class of the 2013 Little America’s Cup, the Swiss company Hydros expressed a desire to work once again with VPLP. The new remit was to design the HY-X, a flying motorboat featuring retractable foils which lift her hull about a metre out of the water.
Comanche
Launched in September 2014 for owner Jim Clark, Comanche’s design derives from studies of the IMOCA monohulls Macif and Banque Populaire, first and second in the 2012 Vendée Globe respectively. She differs from her closest 100’ rivals by her considerable beam, her mast stepped well aft and her boom ending directly above the transom. This configuration allows her to have a sail plan with a high aspect ratio.
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 […]
Diam 24 One Design
An international class of one-design sailing boats which allows you to experience multihull racing for €50,000. VPLP gave the Diam 24 an extremely competitive hull design, eliminating the unnecessary wherever possible.
BBM
BBM is the motorboat version of the BBS, although the shape of her hull is, of course, slightly different. Particular care was taken when designing the layout below decks. The BBM has a cockpit in the bow with direct access to the saloon. The stern cockpit features folding bulwarks to increase deck space enough for a family-size table, with the galley and griddle close by.
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).
