Faster than the wind...

Sailing on all points of sail faster than the true wind speed, whatever its strength... A privilege usually reserved for the world of racing and light dinghies! The new Gunboat 80 will offer the same performance as the best racing boats and will have no need for its engines when the wind is above 5 knots.

The builder and the architects at VPLP have favored performance thanks to a lightweight construction, even directly inspired by the aeronautical industry. The recipes used are the same as those on the 68, with a forward maneuvering cockpit and an interior helm station - doubled up by two raised helms on the side-decks. Luxurious interior and sleek lines: the Gunboat 80 has all that’s required to become an iconic catamaran!
