They are great fun to sail. We have the larget vortex fleet in the country at Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club, with most of the top sailers including the national champion. They are a good stable(ish) platform to get used to trapezzing helming. If you are interested in having a go, come up to our club and have a go in our Vortex demonstrator. Just log on to our web site for details. What do you sail at the moment?
Topper Topaz Magno - really great for anything below a 3/4 but can be a real pig on the turn! I'll start hunting for a local club with a demonstrator - it really caught my attention at the boat show!
Nice control. I'm desperately hunting for one of these for sale near me, but I can't find one :(
Your video has made me envious!

Vortex's can be awkward to turn in a blow. They act
similar to catamarans. Have you had a look at the
Vortex assosiation web site. There are more video links and loads of sailing tips in the forum.

That looks great fun.
Cute commentary near the end as well!
