Plumb-stemmed and plain finished, VELA surprises her shiny competitors when she occasionally enters a race. Not only is she speedy, but exceptionally easy to handle. Her symmetrical topsail with its yard-supported luff, for example, simply flips over from tack-to-tack—requiring only a fraction of the usual effort.

Just lovely!
Time was when I dreamed of a boat like VELA. Now I dream of being a passenger on a boat like VELA, as I sail my 17 ft. Buzzards Bay 14.
I share the sentiment.
