The IMOCA 60 Class yacht Paprec-Virbac 3 was designed in partnership with VPLP and Guillaume Verdier and launched on 18 May 2010[1] after being built by Cookson Boats in New Zealand.[2] The yacht was named after the companies that sponsored its construction, Virbac and Paprec. It was lost during the 2016 Vendee Globe where the skipper was rescued. In November 2018, the remains of written off yacht were found on the east coast of Madagascar.
