Hello
vxone FRA 192 is sold. He went to Germany near Hamburg.

It was a great experience to race with this beautiful boat: fast and safe. But it is too difficult to set up alone.

I went on a trimaran 4.4 m lighter 125 kg and just as fast as the VX One: the WETA

Good continuation

VX One Discussions / Boat Grant

Last post by USA160 - February 14, 2019, 02:51:10 PM

I would like to start a discussion with the US group about the possibilty of a Boat Grant Program similar to what the Lightning Class is doing here. https://www.lightningclass.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=93488&module_id=282791

This type of program needs funding for sure. Even if the boat(s) were to be donated, we wouls till need funds to help with maintenance, insurance, logistics, ets.

Does anyone have experience with sort of thing? Is it worth investigating?

Thanks!

More than 5 years ago the class posted this:
The Class Association has worked with US Sailing to get an official "provisional" D-PN assigned to the VX One.  These are provisional pending submission of actual race data that can be figured into the Portsmouth formula, so if you race the VX under Portsmouth, please do everything you can to get the race results submitted to US Sailing.  Contact US Sailing for official copies of these numbers if needed:

VXONE   BN HC
D-PN   0-1      2-3   4       5-9
77.0       78.4     75.9       75.5     75.5

I have raced my VX with the 77 handicap for 5 years and it seems reasonable.

Are you looking for an international rating?

Hi folks.  Long time fan of the VX One here, and possible future owner (after owning two Viper 640s). 

I have a Loos PT-1 gauge I'm not using, which I'm selling and thought someone here might benefit from.  Gently used, in great condition.  Listed on eBay with a low minimum, priced to move.  :-)
