\u201cAll okay from Condor,\u201d read the email sent in early April to all the teams which had contributed to the design and construction of the Condor, a Gunboat\u00a068<\/a>\u00a0launched a few weeks earlier in La Grande Motte. The skipper of the boat (owned by a New Yorker) was sending news from the middle of the Atlantic \u2013 \u201cThe food is good and the crew are happy!\u201d \u2013 which included two key figures: true wind\u00a016 knots, boat\u2019s speed\u00a019 knots\u2026<\/p>\n

For the teams at VPLP Design, this first Gunboat launched after the US brand was bought in 2016 by\u00a0Grand Large Yachting<\/a>\u00a0(which also produces the Outremers) was an important development. \u201cGunboats occupy a middle-ground between racing and cruising, which is precisely the intersection of our expertise,\u201d says\u00a0Mathias Maurios<\/a>, project manager for the firm. \u201cIt\u2019s been a long time since a project utilized both of our specialties \u2013 comfort and performance. It made a lot of sense to do it,\u201d add Marc Van Peteghem and Vincent Lauriot-Pr\u00e9vost.<\/p>\n

Gunboats are catamarans that combine luxury and performance, which endows them with a very special DNA that cannot be denied. Carbon fibre construction, centreboards, impeccable finish, cockpit forward and helm in the deckhouse\u2026 VPLP Design, with help from the designers\u00a0Patrick le Qu\u00e9ment<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Christophe Chedal Anglay<\/a>, adapted its way of doing things to remain faithful to the brand\u2019s values. On the design side, the firm\u2019s performance department took care of the studies, the CFD, the hydrodynamics and the appendages, while the cruising department managed the general layout, the weight estimate, supervised the construction process and the 3D modelling.<\/p>\n

Everyone was delighted with the result! \u201cOur weight objective was ambitious but the teams did a super job because we kept to our target tonnage,\u201d smiles Mathias Maurios. A second Gunboat has been ordered and a third one is under discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
