Hi Shorty,
Took my new 'to me' vagabond 17 out for the 1st time... boy, what an ordeal to get it out of the trailer! Maybe the trailer is not set up correctly, but I had to disconnect the trailer from the car and roll it out tied to a strong rope or risk turning my jeep Cherokee (pretty high car) in to a submarine!!! Did you had any issues like this?

I had a problem with the winch, the winch handle stopped turning the worm after a few turns. I was able to figure out the winch issue... the handle bolt is attached to the worm mechanism with a pin. That pin must have broken off.. I was able to temporarily attach a nail to make it work, and will look for the right size stainless pin or bolt.

The best boat I ever had. Sails very well in all conditions, when it is blowing hard I reef the main and put up the small jib, and the boat handles very well in winds up to and including small craft warnings. I sail my vagabond from Long Beach to Catalina once or twice a year. No problems what so ever. My Vagabond is fully rigged, it even sports a spinnaker, auto pilot, a working head, and a BBQ mounted to the stern. Perfect boat for single handling or at most two people.
Buy one if you see...read more
