The Viko S21 is a lovely little sailboat that I got to review and test sail. Overall a great boat with a very clever design.

Alex you going for a salesman job? You've did a good job reviewing this little boat. Look good, they all do straight out of the factory. Nothings built to last these days.

Great video Alex. I love where they put the double bed, that's pretty cool. I'm sure a curtain could be put up for a little more privacy. The may raising and lowering system looks amazing. I'd still go for a Vivacity, unfortunately there's not a lot of those over here in Australia.

Thanks! Yeah I don’t think may would sail a vivacity to Australia! Maybe in a container though.

@@AlexGoesSailing True, a few have actually made it over here that I've found, a couple in really bad shape and the other in really good condition but in Tasmania with no trailer. Being a novice sailor, Bass Straight is not an ideal first time sail as stable as these Vivacities seem to be. I am actually looking at a freight company maybe to go pick it up. I'll see how I go 🙂

I like the design of the boat I’m not sure if they have multiple interior options I see this is more of a weekend/day sailer, I have a Catalina 22, be nice if the Viko had a more cruiser interior with a forward bed, usable kitchen possibly as a one person live aboard. Something that would be cool is I see it has a electric outboard motor and if when under sail the spinning prop would actually charge the onboard battery system, that be a sweet set up with a flexable solar panel somewhere up to 100W making it a perfect micro live aboard/cruiser
@AlexGoesSailing
@AlexGoesSailing Жыл бұрын
It does have a few options inside but it’s definitely more of a weekend sailer and maybe up to a week depending on the setup.

@gerritNL Жыл бұрын
Charging with a prop requires >4knots. This is 21ft boat so hull speed limits this somewhat. Smart boat though.

the open cockpit is its down fall no family would sail it if you have small children everything will go over board toys clothing kids ,saying that ideal for a single or couple great looker the lines hull shape its a tad heavy for most family cars mpv,s boating could be simpler for a family of four two children ,it is a good price if everything is included ie outboard ,trailer and small things like fenders it needs to be a complete ready to go package i didnt see solar panel

No solar but something could be setup with on a spray hood or at the back on the rails.

Looked at the Viko Yachts at the last Southampton boatshow. They look well made, Poland has been making boats for a long time and they are in the price bracket of mere mortals. We were hoping they would have a 40ft, but not yet.

@Alex Goes Sailing Sorry for the late answer. Starting from the hull, which was extrimly thin. To the point where with a thumb you could bend it. Also there are very bad Design flaws. As for exemple that the lowest part of the bildge ia not accesible, making it impossible to remove the water which is there. Everything is glued in a extremely cheap way. Repairing is nearly impossible. Don't count on Viko for any support of any kind. I had to replace the windows because after 5 years they started to separate from the hull. They did not have any drawing of the windows nor would they send me new ones. I had to make drawings myself and order them localy.

Hello Alex, great video. I did almost buy such a boat, than I went to Interboot Friedrichshafen and saw the Haber 620. Why you don't review a Haber sailboat? Would be nice

The stern looks unprotected, I would worry that items might roll right into the 💦 water. Not too safe for a dog either. But I guess if you just want to race and not spend family time cooking and eating while on the hook 🪝 it would be a great little boat.

How did the sailing and performance compare to your boat..???
@AlexGoesSailing
@AlexGoesSailing Жыл бұрын
Could point a little higher because of the inboard sheet lines. Similar speed but the viko is a touch faster. The boat length means it’s not much different. Maybe half a knot.
