Vago

 

"Vago" is our first competitor from Japan and from her plans in the Club's possession is a very pretty little yacht of very modern design.  "Vago" was designed by two of her crew, S Takeichi and N Muramoto, both young men who appear to be well versed in modern ocean racing design.  Her skipper, K Ogimi, is the Commodore of the Nippon Ocean Racing Club.  "Vago" has only sailed in two races of 20 miles and 100 miles and has gained both line and handicap honours in both.
