TAN 66, THE INTERPRETATION OF A DREAM

The Tan 66, the story of 2 men, 1 passion, 1 dream.


Xavier Bouin, founder of the Tan brand and Marc Van Peteghem from the famous VPLP architectural office, imagined and created a new type of exclusive catamaran, the Tan 66.

The Tan 66 was designed to sail at very high speed with great ease. 



The Tan 66 is an innovative catamaran built entirely of carbon fiber for more speed and strength. 


Both helm station, the central mast and front sails are there to make the sailing effortless while achieving top speeds.

The Tan 66 is more than highly performing, she is also a benchmark in style and design. 


The Tan 66 will be built at Marsaudon Composite in Lorient based in France. The yard is famous for its unique know-how and excellent craftsmanship in carbon composite material. 

The Tan 66, dreams become reality.
