Laser Vago

A Laser Vago is a sailing dinghy designed by Jo Richards and manufactured by Laser Performance. The Vago can be sailed and raced by a crew of two or single-handed. The Standard (Std) rigged version sports a single trapeze, asymmetric gennaker, furling jib and reefable mainsail.
A more powerful sail plan can be added to upgrade to a Vago Race (XD) with a larger gennaker, a Mylar mainsail and trapeze lines.

The rotomoulded hull is constructed from a polyethylene tri-skin foam sandwich and is designed for early planing.

The Vago is renowned for fantastic performance in high winds due to the lightweight hull design and the Mylar mainsail. As a result, this boat is sailed mainly by more experienced crews than boats such as the Laser 3000.

gollark: According to my testing, brotli is actually best on smaller strings and does worse on larger ones.
gollark: Well, if Palaiologos can be run on a Turing machine, the problem is trivial.
gollark: ```1931 on-phones.md 951 on-phones.md.br1080 on-phones.md.gz1140 on-phones.md.lzma1064 on-phones.md.zst```
gollark: Here is a smaller sample. Brotli wins more winningly.
gollark: I mean, at this size the differences are pretty marginal.
