Pierre 1er
Presentation of Pierre 1er, the trimaran designed by VPLP Design for Florence Arthaud
Lagoon 1st generation
It was back in 1987 that VPLP launched its first Lagoons, a pair of 55’ sisterships weighing in at 14 tonnes and built by Jean-François de Prémorel at Jeanneau Techniques Avancées. They would be the first of several generations and marked the start of a fruitful collaboration between the firm and Groupe Beneteau.

Gérard Lambert
Gérard Lambert, named for the hero of a song by French rocker Renaud, was our very first design and was produced in the same year we founded the naval architecture firm called VPLP! Built in glass and carbon fibre in 1983 in a little village in the Breton region of the Morbihan by Jean-François de Prémorel for Vincent Lévy, this 50-metre trimaran featured foils – already! – which we added to glass-reinforced plastic floats (GRP) for the first time.
