Interview / 3 questions to naval architect Vincent Lebailly
Vincent Lebailly is the head of his design office Vincent Lebailly Yacht Design since 2009. He divides his activity between production boats and one-off projects, mainly sailing. He answered the 3 questions of Bateaux.com
What is the boat you have designed that you are most proud of?
I have three boats that have marked me, which correspond to different specifications.
The Wetton 56, a boat with integrated trailer. Because it's a challenging boat with exceptional technology. It has become a friendly collaboration and a story that has lasted for 7 years and will continue to do so because the yard is doing well. We are also involved in the improvements made. Emotionally speaking, it is a boat that is close to my heart.
For emotional family reasons, the Biloup 109. I designed it for my father and it is the family boat. My children sail on it. It's also the boat that I sail with the most.
Finally the Garcia 64 because it is the first boat I designed by myself. The owners are my best salesmen in the world. They have my business card, they maintain their boat magnificently, they sail everywhere.
These three boats mean a lot to me. They are very strong links today, even though the projects are getting old.
In the end, it's a mix of production boats and one-offs and it represents what I've done and what I'd like to continue doing.
What boat would you have liked to draw?
I would have loved to have participated in the design of the Pogo. There is a real consistency between the design and the specifications. All the Pogo's are quite well thought out and allow for fast cruising.
What is the project you would have liked to work on?
For the moment we are working on a 45-foot sailing trimaran project, which we are doing with our own funds, internally at the office. It's a project somewhat similar to the Onarius52, an amateur construction with an open deck. We launched it on our own initiative, the press talked about it and an owner flashed on it.
This new 45-foot trimaran will bring a lot to the world of multihull sailing. It will change things and bring things. I would really like to see it on the water one day and to be supported by a big shipyard . The design, the interior layout is already finished; the boat is finished in terms of interior and exterior sketches, but we will unveil the images in a few months. Now we need a shipyard or a first client.
I'd love to see it enter a range like Garcia did with the Explocat or Ovni with the OvniCat 48.

"We had to deal with a number of constraints, and it wasn't easy to design a race that took into account the timing of arrivals, the need to avoid an area of high concentration of marine mammals on the continental shelf, and the need to stay in the eastern Bay of Biscay to avoid a windless zone that threatened to close in on the French coast ...
