The Laser Vago was created to stimulate. Unmatched handling and exhilarating performance are harnessed in its uniquely stunning modern design. Vago is a concept that pushes the boundaries of boat dinghy sailing, for the next generation of sailors worldwide. Every time you are on the water experiencing Vago it will provide extraordinary, memorable sailing.

It’s unique, it’s awesome, it’s there not thereabouts!

Through a unique combination of style, versatility and hydro-dynamic ability, we have raised control, stability, planing performance and comfort to unprecedented levels.

The designer Jo Richards has an outstanding reputation for designing a range of small powerboats including the world’s most popular roto-moulded boat – The Pico. Jo is known for innovation on his sports boats and for pushing the design boundaries….the result The 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 Vago is versatile with a multi-functional concept and interchangeable horsepower. It encompasses many design features found on individual boats. The magic of this Richards design is that Vago carries the majority of them, without compromise.

The technical qualities and design features of The Vago are far beyond the usual - Starting with the perfectly tuned rig that compliments the innovative hull design.

The Vago is constructed from a Polyethylene Tri-Skin foam sandwich offering durability, and a hard wearing exterior which means maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum. The shape offers outstanding performance.

The Vago comes in two versions – put simply the difference is horsepower – one of them has more sail area and a trapeze.

The Gnav Vang system creates more space in the cockpit to assist crew mobility and comfort – it has a “sit in” feel – not usually associated with asymmetric skiff style sailing. The cockpit design also supports hiking and trapeze options with inset steps for easy leverage.

The Vago has a high boat 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.
