Sail World Boat of the Year – 2017
Highlights
Three Mainsail sizes offer added versatility
The square top mainsail has three size options to accommodate different weather conditions and different sailor weight-to-power ratios.
Ballasted centreboard offers extra stability
The VX Evo’s ballasted centreboard, combined with different sail options, provides a balanced, stable platform for awesome fun. Gybe, tack, or reach. It quickly becomes second nature.
Simple to launch
The kickup rudder system makes launching and retrieving very easy in virtually any location. Additionally, the hollow, one-piece carbon rudder stock with a tiller affixed provides a strong, lightweight solution to keep weight out of the stern and, to ensure very accurate control over steerage.
Easy hoists and drops
A single line to launch the gennaker, prod makes hoists and drops very easy.
Centralised controls for quick adjustments
The centralised position of the controls and the angle of the control cleats enable quick access to making adjustments.
Transportable – Lightweight beach trolley and transport
The lightweight, aluminium beach trolley makes launching and retrieving the boat simple, while the open transom makes getting in and out of the boat easy for the helm’s person. The two-piece mast can be transported inside the cockpit.
Performance sailing your way.
