The Multiplast 82 is one of the most significant grand prix offshore racing yachts to emerge from the celebrated Multiplast stable in Vannes, France — a yard synonymous with pushing composite construction to its absolute limits. Designed by the brilliant Gilles Ollier and built in 1996, this 24.98-metre monohull stretches to an imposing 11.7-metre beam, a configuration that delivers the kind of righting moment and upwind power that wins ocean races outright. Multiplast built their reputation on campaigns for Jules Verne Trophy attempts, Vendée Globe contenders and offshore speed records.
Their carbon construction techniques set benchmarks that production builders are still chasing. This yacht carries that DNA throughout — lightweight, stiff, purpose-built for performance at sea. Accommodation is configured for 4 guests and 2 crew, practical for a racing programme without sacrificing the structural integrity the design demands.
At this scale and with this pedigree, she suits a well-resourced owner looking to campaign seriously or preserve a genuine piece of offshore racing history. Now offered at a reduced price of EUR $2,595,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a thoroughbred from an era when French offshore racing was rewriting what was possible on the open ocean.
