Our Vaurien: Over thirty years of experience in one boat

The Vaurien Faccenda was created in 1991 from the competitive experience of Marco Faccenda, an eight-time World Champion in the class. From the beginning, the goal was to build a dinghy capable of offering uncompromising performance, reliability, and build quality.

Each evolution of the project stems directly from the experience gained in racing. Materials, weight distribution, hull rigidity, and control layout are the result of over thirty years of continuous development.

Today, the Vaurien Faccenda is chosen by sailing schools, clubs, and racers worldwide because it combines ease of use, safety, and top-level performance.

Built to last

The hull is made entirely of Termanto, a material that ensures high structural rigidity, unsinkability, and long-term durability.

The use of high-quality resins and the experience gained in building international dinghies have allowed continuous refinement of the design, keeping it competitive even after more than thirty years.
