The Class 30 sailboat, a project launched by the UNCL, now the racing pole of the Yacht Club de France, the RORC in the United Kingdom and the Storm Trysail Club in the United States, to revitalize access to ocean racing, will finally be built by the Jeanneau yard.
Paragon
Paragon illustre la quête de l’excellence de VPLP Design. Ce monocoque rapide de 85 pieds (26m) a été imaginé comme un diamant sans défaut, sculpté pour la perfection visuelle et la performance technique. Ce projet ouvre la porte à une nouvelle ère inspirée des maxi voiliers et des foilers in-shore et offshore.
Brava 25
Boatbuilders Brava have now launched their very own sailing boat design: the Brava 25.
Electric racing powerboat
VPLP entered into a very innovative collaboration with the SailGP circuit in 2020. The aim of the project was to study and assess the architecture, design and technical solutions for producing an electric racing boat with full foiling capacity to create a fleet of one-design racing boats.
F-RIB
This project to design an electric foiling RIB focused on combining performance with a comfortable ride.
Befoil
Befoil is the first foiling catamaran for beginners and sailing schools. The design aims to make foiling easier and safer for everyone.

After a call for tenders, the job of designing the third generation of Figaro Beneteau boats was entrusted to VPLP, whose winning bid focused on creating “a gateway to ocean racing”. Figaro 3 adheres faithfully to the VPLP motto of lightness and power.
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.
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.
