Boat crush – The VX One

For those who know me, you will know I have had a little boat crush on the VX One for a while now.

I love the boat because I can sail it comfortably (yes I like hiking!) with my family and good mates, it's one design racing, the fleet are so fun to hang with and race against, and we can do 20+ knots with me trimming a jib and spinnaker in a training session, like this one recently on the Gold Coast, without blinking...
