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 Vendee 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]
