Guillaume Verdier Naval Architecture

Guillaume Verdier and his team design monohull and multihull prototypes for competition; however, they regularly share their skills in designing dinghies and cruising boats.

Some of their major collaboration projects have been in partnership with Emirates New Zealand, assisting with the design of the AC72 during the 34th edition, the AC50 during the 35th edition and the AC75 during the 36th edition of the America’s Cup. Among other projects, there are several Open 60s and Class40s, which have been designed for solo racing. Whether it’s for a 100-foot monohull, a Mini 6.50, a 50-footer or a dinghy; their attention to detail remains unchanged.

Over the past years, Guillaume Verdier has collaborated with various architects and engineers, including Benjamin Muyl, Hervé Penfornis and Romaric Neyhousser, Len Imas, Romain Garo, Véronique Soulé, Pierre Louis Pilot, Yohan Roy and Morgane Schlumberger; all having contributed to projects.

Loic Geopfert and Jeremy Palmer have recently joined the team.
