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.

The core principle is that the sailor gets to sail what is, within an affordable price, the most technology for the dollar available anywhere on the market today. Simply put, a “ Big bang for the buck ”.

The vx one is a fresh and exciting sport one-design for the international two to three person racing enthusiast. the design concept is born of a careful review of performance one-design demographics within this category worldwide. the vx one offers sailors from junior to advanced a vehicle for perpetual enjoyment of performance sailing in an affordable, durable, and technically advanced package, and at a realistic price..

The VX One Design offers:

* Team Design Approach : The VX team includes lead design and concepts by Viper 640 designer, Brian Bennett, naval architecture and design engineering by Ross Weene and Rodger Martin, rig development and engineering by John Clinton and the Southern Spars team, and deck layout by Harken. The VX is designed with Multisurf  Yacht design software, 3D modeled with Rhino ceros, and VVP analysis by the Wolfston unit (UK) software. Hull tools will be cut with precision 5 axis CNC equipment for perfect geometry and replication.

*  Optimized Construction Techniques:  The VX will be built using a conservative level of technology. Major components will be resin-infused with Vinylester and e glass with PVC cores, and Armorflex gelcoat. This is the most environmentally considerate approach to building a production boat and will provide a tough, durable craft, with optimal performance and longevity. Due to the 3-D design process, all parts and systems can be duplicated with precision and stocked for quick turnaround if needed. This will be a boat that will give many years of racing service.

* ISAF One Design Development : The VX is being developed from the start using ISAF templates and guidelines to guarantee strict international design and build tolerances, and class management development.

*  Cost-down engineering : A difficult task requiring experience and an understanding of the dynamics involved in producing and marketing race boats, this is a process where we look carefully at the target market and competition to determine what we feel customers will pay for the finished product, and engineer the project from this figure backwards.

*  Logistics Efficiencies :  Sailing is an expensive sport and suffers from varying degrees of inefficiency. The VX is designed to consider the long-ranging impact of shipping and moving multiple boats and associated equipment efficiently. On initial delivery, the VX can be delivered 3 units per 20’ container, or 8 units per 40’ HC container. The hull is light enough to comfortably stack 3 high on a road single trailer. The Southern Spars Carbon rig is shipped in 2 pieces for easy handling and stocking.

VX One 

High-speed sailing from the comfort of your own cockpit..

The VX One provides a light and lively sailing experience that cleverly blends dinghy performance with keelboat stability. Its wide, shallow and open cockpit, well-thought through control lines and systems makes the boat very easy to handle.

Storage for Day gear/ Provisions

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.

VX One Success

What colour options do you offer?

The boats are all the same colour with a white hull and light grey deck. 

Boats can be customized with the non-skid inside the cockpit.

What can be customised?

The boats are all built to a strict One Design rule. 

This restricts what can be changed, although there is the ability to personalize the non-skid arrangement on the boat.

VX One-Design

VX One-Design is a 18 ′ 11 ″ / 5.8 m monohull sailboat designed by Rodger Martin and Brian Bennett and built by Bennett Yachting (USA) starting in 2010.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

SA Gennaker = 390 sq ft./36 sq m.
