The VX One successfully bridges the gap between dinghy and keelboat. It is a strict one design class that is sailed with a crew of 2-3 and an optimum weight range of 180-230kg’s.
It's wide, shallow and open cockpit, along with well-thought through control lines and systems, makes the boat very easy to handle, be it in race mode or as a fun day-sailor.
The Hull and Deck Systems
The hull is made from E-glass with carbon reinforcement in key areas, PVC-core and a hard gelcoat surface. This combination means a stiff, robust hull is achieved for performance and longevity.
The open and spacious cockpit enables easy manoeuvrability for crew. Extra cockpit space is also achieved by using a GNAV system (above boom vang).
The mainsheet system comes directly off the boom just like skiff sailing which enables easy trimming and, along with the use of a self-tacking jib, makes the sailing experience more enjoyable.
A large spinnaker chute along with a carbon fibre retractable bowsprit has been designed for easy hoists and drops of the A Symmetric spinnaker.
Any excess water is shipped through chute drains straight out of the transom.
The Keel and foil
The VX One uses an anodized, extruded-aluminium, weighted keel which provides excellent shape and durability.
The lifting keel, which is raised using the main halyard, means that the VX One can be launched, recovered and trailed on a combi trailer.
The rudder is a high-performance profile Carbon-Glass rudder.
The Rig and sails
The clear coated carbon fibre tubes are made by CST. The spars are assembled by Mackay Boats.
The sail wardrope includes a large mainsail, self-tacking jib and a A-symmetric spinnaker. The VX One Class rules permits a choice of sailmakers to make the sails.
Ready for your custom fitout, the base VX One includes:
- Keel and rudder
- Mast, boom and rigging
- Robline halyards, sheets and lines
- Rudder cover
- Storage Bag
- Hiking Straps
- Spinnaker Sock
- Foil covers
Excludes sails, trolley and cover. Can be customised to any level.
The VX ONE was the unanimous winner of the 2012 Sailing World 'Overall Boat of the Year' and 'Best One Design' as well as Sail magazine’s 2012 'Best Boat' award. Check out the awards and responses the VX One has received.

VX ONE AT A GLANCE
A POWERFUL, HIGH-PERFORMANCE SPORTSBOAT
The VX One is a 2 to 3 person keelboat with a light, easily driven hull by an efficient sail plan set on a full carbon rig. The boat can be launched simply off a dinghy style trolley or craned in using a single point lifting strop.
Key features of the VX One are the off the boom mainsheet which gives a huge uncluttered cockpit, whilst the self-tacking jib makes gybes easy when sailing 2 up. The jib furls for easy launching and recovery and for short-handed sailing or playing with the family. The spinnaker is launched using a single line hoist/ retrieval line making the process easy for anyone and a large chute mouth reduces friction.
