One design catamaran designed by VPLP for intense and fun sailing.

COD25, the Catamarans’ Champions…

This fleet of 8 one design 25′ catamarans (that means all are similar) have been built by Sailing One. For more than 10 years, they have been used for the Clairefontaine Trophy, an annual sailing race sponsored by Clairefontaine, where 8 skippers* battled for 3 days, from long distance treck to regattas.

Based in Lorient in South Brittany, these catamarans are available for match racing training, long distance treck around the Ponant Islands, corporate regattas, speed contests as well as trophy.
