Multi One Design, trimaran MOD70
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.
USA17 (BMW Oracle Racing 90)
In 2007 Russell Coutts approached VPLP to design USA 17, the fastest racing sailing boat to contest the America’s Cup. Little did the team know that the project would take three years of relentless modifications, improvements and developments to produce a trimaran featuring 35 m floats and a 68 m pivoting wing mast! Proof of the pudding came in 2010 with victory over the Swiss catamaran Alinghi in both races of the 33rd America’s Cup in Valencia (Spain).
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.

Multi23
The Multi23 is a 23’ production trimaran manufactured in China by Torpen International Boats. Easy to dismantle and built in vinylester (infusion) with carbon-fibre beams and appendices, the result is an affordable dayboat which can be sailed single-handed.
