Stripped Back. Purpose Built.

The VMG 53 Core is the purest expression of the VMG design philosophy. Every element serves a function. The hull form is optimised for speed in a wide range of conditions, from light coastal breezes to heavy offshore weather.

Designed by MB Burrow in collaboration with VPLP/CCA, the Core edition prioritises sailing performance above all else. The result is a trimaran that rewards skilled sailors with extraordinary speed and responsiveness.
