The ketch construction of the Vagabund offers many advantages: a balanced trim is possible, which relieves the autopilot and ensures a more stable course.

With the double forestay and the two roller furling systems, it is flexible and prepared for almost any situation, whether with a storm jib or a genoa. This not only provides comfort but also safety when it matters.

The full control from the cockpit increases safety and offers a clear advantage in critical situations. The SELDÉN mainsail reefing system proves to be extremely reliable, especially under demanding conditions.

Mainsail and foresail are regularly maintained and impregnated (last time in 2023)

A reliable anchoring system is more than just equipment - it is the connection that ties the ship to the ground when you 'nestle' in.
Choosing the right anchor and matching chain is essential for safe anchoring in bays. Thanks to careful selection and maintenance, the family could always sleep soundly, knowing that the ship was safely anchored.

A dinghy is not just a helper boat; it is your bridge to the outside world when a ship is at anchor. It provides quick access to the mainland, whether for shopping, going ashore, or spontaneous outings. At these moments, the dinghy becomes an indispensable companion.
