Replacing a catamaran that has come to be seen as a benchmark is no easy task. But the VPLP architects, in partnership with Lagoon and the celebrated Nauta Design studio, have been brilliantly successful in creating the 450.
Infusion-moulding: weight saving (important for a catamaran), best possible structure, protection for the environment and shipyard workers interior joinery in Alpi® reconstituted wood in the interests of sustainable development (choice of finishes: light oak or teak) vertical glazing for better protection against the sun, optimisation of space and headroom gull-wing bridge deck for greater comfort in heavy seas
VPLP design: a guarantee of performance under sail! and the Nauta Design touch for elegance and comfort. Above decksthe cabin-top design creates a more elegant and punchier roof outline a large sunbathing area on the cabintopthe sail areas are the same with the FlyBridge version. However, the lower mast and boom:
