IMOCA 60 Paprec

The IMOCA 60 class yacht Virbac, also referred to as Virbac-Paprec, after the names of the companies Virbac and Paprec, was designed by Farr Yacht Design and launched in 2003 after being built by Cookson Boats in their New Zealand yard.^[1] The boat was lost during the 2008-2009 Vendée Globe when it stopped at Kerguelen Islands but washed ashore by a gust of wind. It was eventually recovered and put on the "Marion Dufresne" and brought back to Reunion Island before being written of and destroyed.^[1][2]
