    Just read this thread.

    I have spliced and fitted most of the rope work on Aglaia, I have helmed her and sailed on her a few times.

    She sails and handles beautifully, the systems from backstay and Cunningham for de-powering the main sail work better than most yachts half her size.

    The bow roller down wind sails and staysail systems are a work of art. They can be launched by one man.

    The loads are insanely high, the power/speed of the boat is incredible and she is a spectacular looking boat that the owner and crew are very proud of.

    Great work by Malcolm McKeon designing her and Vitters in their remarkable engineering.

    Awesome

    Wow...

    There is something else at the Vitters site: There are two yachts constructed at the moment of which one of them is said: "We are sorry not to be able to share any information about these newbuilds at the moment." ????

    Well.. if she gets build there will be enough press attention I guess.
