Thanks!

Is it possible to post pictures? Thanks!

Hello Burbank's, there is interest in your boat. I emailed you. Please post pictures. Thanks! Jack

Hello Kpike,

I'm in Huntington Beach.

Looking at storing the Boat in Alamitos bay or Cabrillo Beach in the Long Beach/San Pedro area.

Want to take the Boat to SF bay and Santa Cruz. Maybe looking at The High Sierra Regatta, racing in Keel boat PHRF?

I will give you a call when I receive my boat,

Cheers,

Jack

Hello Rod,

Thanks for the post.

I'm working with Brian on getting a new XV One, soon.

Cant wait to help get some exposure for the class in Southern California.

Cheers!

Jack

Hello All,

Does anybody know of a VX-ONE dealer or agent on the west coast?

Thanks!

Thanks!

In a word, Yes.  I do it regularly.  I'm 63. 

The mast stepping requires some practice to get comfortable with the technique. The mast weighs only 28 lbs but it is long. 
Rigging will take longer by yourself.  I plan an hour to go from driving up with the trailer to ready to launch or hoist.  In public it takes longer because sailors stop by to ask about the boat. 

If you need to install the keel (new boat) or remove the keel for repair, a second person is safer.

kpike52, Question, Is there information anywhere on how to remove the keel?  I would think it would be a good idea to have two, One for racing and one for practice? Thanks!

Thanks all! That is good to know. I was able to step My I-14 mast all by myself and it was much heaver then 28lbs.

Hello All,
I'm very interest in the class and would like to know if the boat can be rigged by myself or do you need two?
Thanks!
