The Vaurien dinghy is an internationally popular regatta dinghy. It was designed in 1951 by the French top sailor and boat designer Jean-Jacques Herbulot and has been recognized by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) as an international standard class since 1961 . Over 36,000 boats had been built by 2008.

Thanks to the knickspant construction, the Vaurien sails stably and can be easily mastered even by beginners. The Vaurien is well suited for sailing training - sailing it at optimal speed requires skill at the wheel and good teamwork. With a weight of only 95 kg, the Vaurien can be handled well not only in the water, but also on land.

Over the years, the Vaurien has been repeatedly adapted to the state of the art. It was ensured that the innovations could also be implemented on existing boats. The last change is the new sails introduced in 2008. A modern mainsail with a flared top, a slightly enlarged jib and a larger spinnaker allow the Vaurien to jump on faster, especially in little wind, without creating more side pressure. Even with a lot of wind, the Vaurien can still be sailed without any problems. The ideal crew weight is between about 100 and 150 kg and thus covers almost every possible crew.

Many outstanding sailors have sailed Vaurien, for example:

history

Jean Jacques Herbulot constructed the light and inexpensive boat out of plywood in 1951 for the sailing school Les Glénans . The prototype Vaurien No. 0 was built in the apartment of Glénans founder Philippe Viannay, and Viannay's dog named Vaurien (in German: Lausebengel or Trolch) became the namesake for the boat class.

In the course of time, technical improvements were introduced, such as the GRP construction, later also the aluminum rig and the spinnaker . Because of the excellent sailing characteristics and the low price, the Vaurien quickly spread in Europe and Africa, including South America. The Vaurien played a decisive role in getting sailing out of its elite niche and making it an affordable popular sport. Some important dates are:

  • 1951 The Vaurien is constructed.
  • 1952 Premiere of Vaurien No. 1 at the boat show in Paris.
  • 1961 recognized as an international class
  • 1962 The first Vaurien World Championship takes place in Royan .
  • In 1964 the first Vaurien from French production is imported to Germany by the well-known Überlingen regatta sailor Karl Spiegel
  • In 1966, on the initiative of Karl Spiegel (later President of AsVaurien Germany eV), together with the Maurus shipyard in Moos on Lake Constance, the first German-made Vaurien was built under license.
  • 1978 First Vaurien World Championship in (North) Africa
  • Aluminum rig
  • spinnaker
  • GRP construction
  • 2008 New sails
