Brava 25
Boatbuilders Brava have now launched their very own sailing boat design: the Brava 25.
Aperio
Aperio – from the Latin “to reveal” – is a ship of two facets. Under sail, she is an outstanding yacht which, upon arrival at her destination, changes into an expansive haven of peace.
We Explore
Roland “Bilou” Jourdain’s catamaran We Explore is an Outremer 5X modified by Kaïros Environnement, the Outremer shipyard and VPLP Design. The brief was to use as many biomaterials as possible in her construction. In particular, the deck is to date the largest ever component made with flax fibres. All the fibres were sourced in France and woven by the Terre de Lin cooperative based in Normandy. A certain quantity of the foam is from recycled material.
Malizia 3
Malizia-Sea-Explorer le nouvel IMOCA de Boris Hermann, conçu à la fois pour l’Ocean Race 2023 et pour le Vendée Globe 2024.
Excess 14
Following the lead of the Excess 11, her little sister, the Excess 14 is the fruit of a special design project for the brand. Architects VPLP Design were able to transpose technical developments from the racing world to refine the model’s hydrodynamics.
Lagoon 51
Successor to the Lagoon 50, the 51 features an attractive and roomy flybridge which occupies 80% of the coachroof. This large living area enables the skipper and other passengers to share special moments together when underway.
Persévérance
Resulting from a collaboration with Olivier Petit, architect of Antarctica (now Tara), the Persévérance is an ocean-going sailing supply ship designed for the icy waters around Antarctica. She is tasked with carrying relief crew and equipment to the Polar Pod, the future drifting oceanographic research station devised for Jean-Louis Étienne.

Clak40
In late 2020, in collaboration with the Multiplast yard, VPLP ventured into the Class40 universe for the very first time. “We had been interested in this class for quite a while,” says Vincent Lauriot-Prévost, “but hadn’t quite found a suitable opening. This all changed when we saw the scows enter the fray and display significantly better performances than the previous boats. It was then that we said to ourselves that it was the right moment.”
