EMC Mono
This project is a monohull version of the EMC Multi, a cargo and passenger trimaran developed under the aegis of Watever, an NGO founded by Marc Van Peteghem and Yves Marre, to provide services between islands in the Pacific.
EMC Multi
Developed under the aegis of Watever, an NGO founded by Marc Van Peteghem and Yves Marre, the EMC Multi is a proposal for the future of merchant shipping. In sum, an 80Â m trimaran with a 17Â m beam and hybrid propulsion which is reliable and economic, and contributes little to atmospheric pollution.
Komorebi 200 – Wingsails Exploration Trimaran
Deriving from the project to build a hybrid cruising catamaran which VPLP unveiled in 2015, this Komorebi 200 is designed to be an exploration ship for the scientific community. The principles are the same: broad spaces which make the most of natural light and ventilation, and which can accommodate up to twenty-four scientists, fifteen crew members and all the devices regularly used in marine research.
Platypus
Aimed at the underwater diving market, this boat was developed in collaboration with the Platypus company which recently launched a prototype. The trimaran’s centre console is designed for two people and can be submerged two metres below the water’s surface. A breathing system using masks and a compressor enables the divers to spend up to ninety minutes below the waves without recourse to oxygen bottles.
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 […]
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.
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.
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.
Friendship Ambulance
This boat is the fruit of a meeting in 2004 between Marc Van Peteghem and Yves Marre, co-founder of the NGO Friendship which provides assistance to the vulnerable populations of Bangladesh. Initially, the organization had shipped out a French barge to turn it into a floating hospital.
Lokeya
VPLP’s collaboration with the Saint Malo skipper and fisherman Franck-Yves Escoffier has been twofold, designing the 50’ trimarans Crêpes Whaou! 2 and 3, with which he won the Route du Rhum and the Transat Jacques-Vabre, as well as the 40’ aluminium fishing catamaran Lokeya (name derived from the first names of his three sons, Loïc, Kevin and Yannig).
