The Laser Vago incorporates versatility with sail combinations for a range of different sailing environments. The sub-chine area of the hull is designed in a way to promote early planing, whilst the tuned rocker profile enhances manoeuvrability. At deck level the sides have been flared out to provide good righting moment, enhancing buoyancy, whether hiking or on the trapeze and offers added space in the crew cockpit area. The Laser Vago has a high boom giving more crew space and a simple layout with all control lines being easy to locate and use. The mainsail operates on a one line reefing system – pulling on one control line slab reefs the mainsail to 70 of its original size – this feature, coupled with a roller furling jib means a quick increase or decrease in sail power. Single trapeze.
