VX Evo
Evolving the Single-Handed Skiff Hiking Experience
The VX Evo is a single-handed skiff hiking dinghy that offers apparent wind sailing with an asymmetric spinnaker.
Designed for the larger sailor, it's like the 21st-century version of the Finn heavyweight dinghy.
A lightweight hull with a beamy cockpit, it includes 3 different sail sizes to ensure the right (sailor) weight to power ratio is achieved, and a kick-out transom on the chine line that offers extra stability. Easy-to-use controls and a spinnaker halyard system will ensure smooth hoists and takedowns.
The VX Evo won - "2017 - Sailing World - Boat of the Year: Best Dinghy" and "2017 - SAIL magazine - Best Performance Boat under 30ft".
The VX Evo is part of the VX Sailing range of boats.
