It’s a game changer in the double-handed sailing market. Referred to as the two-person hiking – skiff, the VX Two is for those who love sailing a super-quick, finely balanced, modern boat, with magical ease.
It’s a game changer in the double-handed sailing market. Referred to as the two-person hiking – skiff, the VX Two is for those who love sailing a super-quick, finely balanced, modern boat, with magical ease.
Highlights
Simple to rig
Smart features make rigging quick and easy, including a lightweight carbon mast that is easy to lift and step into the boat, a boat breaker for attaching the forestay to the boat, the jib zipper makes hoisting quick, and quick-release shock cord bungy pins used for attachments.
Crew work action
There’s just as much action for the crew as the skipper in the VX Two, with adjustable jib leads, an asymmetric spinnaker to trim, along with central controls to access.
Smart jib bracket for performance
The angled carbon jib bracket enhances trim ability, and along with its rounded form, reduces the chance of cuts, scrapes and bumps for the crew.
Kickup rudder for control and ease
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 wide, open gennaker chute, along with a single line to launch the gennaker and prod makes hoists and drops very easy.
Transportable – Lightweight beach trolley and trailer-ability
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.
Breathtaking rides with ease.
