High-Performance Engineering and Architectural Synthesis
A leading naval architect, Romaric Neyhousser is a central figure in the design of the most sophisticated offshore racing units. A long-time collaborator with Guillaume Verdier, he works on projects where structural constraints and hydrodynamics are pushed to the extreme. His specialty lies in transferring technologies from competition (Ultim, IMOCA) to fast cruising or expedition units.
Romaric Neyhousser's philosophy is based on rigorous mastery of composite materials and optimization through CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). His approach is characterized by a constant search for drag reduction and meticulous management of center of gravity.
Iconic Projects
IMOCA & Ultims (Verdier Collaboration): Active participation in the design of benchmark hulls and foil systems for the Vendée Globe and Trophée Jules Verne fleets (Gitana 17, Apivia).
Cigale 16 (Alubat): Modernization of this iconic aluminum offshore cruising concept, optimizing the sail plan and appendages for performance.
Bip Bip (Mini 6.50): Design of high-performance prototypes for the Mini Class, serving as laboratories for high-volume forward hulls.
Custom Expedition Projects: Development of offshore units combining high-strength aluminum hulls and composite superstructures.
