@benho278

Thanks for your compliment, a difficult question but I think : materials( wood, paint, epoxy,glasfibre, mahogany, waterpump, toilet,hose,electrical wiring and materials, rost free bolts/screws, paint, airscoop, sikaflex/glue, fabric, motorparts....etc.etc.) about 2500,- Euro. painting the Hull while grinding and preparation by my self 2200,- Euro. seccond/dubbel rudder 1500,- Euro. and then forgetting te rest so.......6200,- Euro I think I bought my vega twice, but she's realy NEW

Nice work! Im thinking of buying a vega but have not seen the boat yet and would like to know how "high" the cabin is..is it possible to stand up straight inside..?Im 186cm..

@MIRCWOOD

Thank you for your compliments.

Te hight in the cabin is +/- 1,72 mtr, Also consider the length of the beds. in the bow it wil be +/- 1.95 mtr ( my vega) the left side 1,9 mtr. In the cabin even some cm smaller !!!

For the rest, a beautifull perfect sailingship , it behaves under sail verry nice , inclined : relext. -/- the position of the rudder makes it hard to maneuver with verry slow speed.

for the rest ,enjoy sailing

Enjoyed watching this video,,, It is great to see someone put such effort and dedication into something that will never bring a profit of money.

I wish you every joy and happyness with your boat.

You did a beautifull job!

Lovely work, just completed something similarly myself...thanks for sharing

[AntW11]

That is a beautiful video. Your work was obviously a labour of love. Congratulations on your fine work. Fair winds and full sails.

No job is complete unless the components have been washed in the bath, stored in the lounge and assembled on the kitchen table. Add a scalding from the wife and you know the job is a good one! Great project!

great work. good wind for you.

Lovely job. I wish I had the skill to tackle that kind of work on my Trintella 1a. They're similar looking boats, and I'm sure she could look much prettier.
