No, the pic is completely unretouched.

What's the yacht? Obviously NOT a Vega!

Correct, she's Swedish Maid, a Vindo 32 based at Balvicar. A very nice looking boat.

Looks a nice yacht. Never seen one myself, hence the question.

Sorry - I was just referring to the coincidence of V32 and Vic32.

No, I'm sorry - not at my sharpest today.

I blame the manflu.

There is a link though…..

According to the website for Vindö, http://www.vindonet.org.uk/boats.htm, the yard which built the Vindö also built the plug for the Vega. I always understood that the moulds for the Vega were taken from the hull of Vega no. 1 which is built in Mahogany so maybe this is what they built. The website mentions a ‘sailing plug’ for the Vindö 40 so the Vega may have been the same technique.
