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. The boat was lost during the 2008-2009 Vendée 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.
