Through a unique combination of style, versatility and
hydro-dynamic ability, we have raised control, stability, planing performance
and comfort to unprecedented levels.
The designer Jo Richards has an outstanding
reputation for designing a range of small boats including the world's most
popular roto-molded boat—The Pico. Jo is known for innovation on his boats and
for pushing the design boundaries. The result, the Vago incorporates
versatility with sail combinations for a range of different sailing
environments.
- The sub-chine area of the hull is designed
in a way to promote early planing, while the tuned rocker profile enhances
manoeuvrability. The flared out sides of the deck provide good righting
moment and enhancing buoyancy.
- The Vago is versatile with a
multi-functional concept and interchangeable horsepower. It encompasses many
design features found on individual boats. The magic of this Richard's
design is that the Vago carries the majority of them, without compromise.
- The technical qualities and design
features of the Vago are far beyond the usual—Starting with the perfectly
tuned rig that compliments the innovative hull design.
- The Vago is constructed from a
Polyethylene Tri-Skin foam sandwich offering durability, and a hard wearing
exterior which means maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum. The shape
also offers outstanding performance.
- The Vago comes in two versions—put simply,
the difference is horsepower—one of them has more sail area and a trapeze.
- The Gnav Vang system creates more space in
the cockpit to assist crew mobility and comfort—it has a "sit in" feel – not
usually associated with asymmetric skiff style sailing. The cockpit design
also supports hiking and trapeze options with inset steps for easy leverage.
- The Vago has a high boom giving more crew
space and a simple layout with all control lines being easy to locate and
use.
- The mainsail operates on a one line
reefing system—pulling on one control line slab reefs the mainsail to 70% of
its original size—this feature, coupled with a roller furling jib means a
quick increase or decrease in sail power.
