and when the Vago turtles and the centerboard fully goes back into the trunk?

Hey, my dad passed.. he had a beautiful boat and he named it after me and my big bro.. it’s so similar! Can I ask where you got it from please? x

It just lowered my stress level

Just bought one of these. Any more tips before I go out would be amazing

Loved it! Thanks😃

"Oh my God!" #snog ;)

Do they sell lowriders in the USA?

Feel free to join in any questions or tips on the Vago Forum put vago in google and it will come up. We also have training events at Hunts SC in April and Yorkshire Dales SC in May or let the forum know where you are and you might get someone along to help you with rigging and tips like in this video :o) keep on getting out there its a great boast and you will have loads of fun and it will teach you loads it did me :o)

6:45 looks like fun! Cant wait to try mine out again now

well done.. i went out today too.. really good sailing down here in falmouth.. great steady force 3-4.. and flat water for a change.. moved my mast rake forward another notch and it made a huge difference to the handling of the boat. keep it up... it gets a lot easier.

Sailed it today I'm completely knackered I have completed 3 races came last in all of them. 3rd was the best last not to much wind and had a bit of a dice with an Opi on the 1st race but only capsized a few times mainly because I kept on getting cramp :o)

well good luck with it.. perseverance pays off.. managing to sail mine for hrs at a time now without capsizing and am completely in love. but still have so much to learn. am finding that when the boat falls towards me a quick pump on the mainsheet can save me from a windward swim.. if you ever make it down cornwall way would be good to meet up.. also, i may be coming up to cambridge september time so could possibly bring my boat.. cheers. d.

Only sailed it a few times since these I have been sailing my Laser Vago at some opens but hope to get ack with it this weekend. I broke a batten at a CVDRA event in a bit of a blow also, the tramps catch a lot of wind when you don't want them to :o)

how you getting on? the learning curve is pretty steep eh. cheers. d.

Thank you I did find I didn't have enough rig tension on this time. the second time was much more and I was more seccessful. the kicker is still to be yet to be used propperly :o)

the way I got told to set up my lowrider was to get as much rig tension on as possible, then pull on a bit of kicker, when you go upwind, kicker = height but watch for the diagonal wrinkles they aren't good. Hope this helps :)

do you have a t foil? that would make a big difference with the pitching.. also when you tack, take her through the tack , sheet hard, and heel her towards you.. you may nd up in the water but it tends to make mine bear away instead of heading back into the wind.. if you have a t foil you don't need to worry so much about the bow going under, as it tends to pop back out on its own.. it seems that it is only downwind or reaching in force 4 plus that mine wants to pitchpole.. enjoy. d

I do try to get forward but when a gust hits it really drops the bow, I do need to move quicker I am still fingers and thumbs at the moment:o) but I am really enjoying having a go :o)

I triied yesterday but I needed to reef the tramps th wind it kept getting under them and taking me over :o)

and finally. the rewards when you get it right are superb.. you will be in love before you know it.

there is lots of good advice to be had on the cvrda forum..

I try to sail mine fairly bow down most of the time to stop the transom dragging, though yours seems to carry weight better than mine,.

you may find that more wind helps.. and if you are still stuggling to bear away a little less mast rake..

Do you mean put more on? There was hardly any on I did put some on later on but I kept on going into irons even more. thinking about it when I started I was further aft and it did bare away easier and when I was having the problems I was going forward so I will give that a go. I didn't have much forestay tention I will put much more on next time. what would you recommend?

Too much kicker and sit further aft

I think I know what I was doing wrong watching the video looking forward to next week to putting the correction in place , but proabably a lot more swimming as well :o)

This looks very cool Ed. Especially the moody sky and blobs of water on the lens.

Yes I wouldn't like to do that again and if I had known it would have been that eventful I would have saved some of the footage. it has made it look much flatter I was looking up at a lot more wave tops than this shows
