Every line, one position
From a single position, the owner can control every major sail function through integrated systems, with cleanly organized lines and intuitive controls keeping the sail pit effortless and uncluttered.

Command, short-handed
With every major control reachable from one position, the sail pit allows the VMG 53 to be sailed confidently and effortlessly by a solo owner or couple.

A performance lounge
The sail pit transforms into a protected lounge with wraparound seating and a hi/lo table designed for relaxing, dining and spending time aboard.

The sail pit is the clearest expression of the VMG philosophy. Effortless to sail, comfortable to live in, and adaptable to every aspect of life onboard.
