VITA is a formidable competitor in the 9 metre class. If the budget is insufficient for the "Van de Stadt 34" and the "Dolphin" doesn't quite offer enough room, the VITA is the alternative. We drew a hull according to the multi-chine quick assembly method for steel or aluminium. A round bilge in wood is equally possible.

The VITA is a very spacious and fast 30 footer. Two couples can sleep in separate cabins. The toilet is particularly large and offers space for a shower. Also the galley has the space that is usually only encountered in larger yachts. The proven 7/8 rig is uncomplicated. A crew of two is sufficient to handle the VITA without problem. And with four aboard you still don't get in each others way. This superbly manoeuvrable yacht can be built relatively fast. There are three keel versions.

The VITA is a low budget proposition for those who want to sail a new 9 metre yacht.

The steel and aluminium versions include all expanded plate patterns on CD in ACAD dwg format.
