For each edition of the America’s Cup or the Vendée Globe, MULTIPLAST designs and builds state-of-the-art prototypes for the most ambitious teams.
Whether it’s the AC75s competing in Barcelona or the IMOCAs setting sail on transatlantic races or round-the-world tours, the yachts that leave our workshops end up in the hands of the best international skippers.
During the 2024 Vendée Globe, one in five boats setting sail from Les Sables-d’Olonne bore the MULTIPLAST signature – including Paprec Arkéa, skippered by Yoann Richomme, which finished in an impressive 2nd place.
