On a serious note I fail to see how the Vago could be classed as a step up from a RS200.  A step up from a Pico certainly.  But a pico to a 200 would be a leap.

i personaly liked the look of the boat, i hope its nothing like the topaz trez, horrible horrible boats, just too small and tipy, when u try n trapeze  on em ( thats the only way theres room in the boat) when u push off from the gunnal the boat slides sideways from underneth you,

appoliges to all trez owners. but working at a sailing school with a fleet of  7or 8 ive learnt to avoide them

Wrong, the pico is like a diff. material and it's really thick, claims to be bullet proof (or is that the topaz) anyway there really heavy. oh i sail others boat too, not bound to the brightly colored decks of a topper!

Lol so do i fireballs seem very fast compared to toppers! We can only use my mates Fireball in things under a force 4 cos otherwise we'll probably brerak something so then we go in toppers...........I like fireballs!

 

By the way ur right Pico's r crap becuase theyre to heavy and they rip ur wetsuit!

I agree with Sailor.jon, our club bought a Topaz Trez with the intention of the junior sailors learning to use an asymmetric and trapeze. Once the wind gets up to trapezeing strength they struggle to get round the course without capsizing. Saying that, me and my son took it to the Top Club competition af Grafham and had a great time in it, although we did capsize it a few times..

Picos are great boats for beginners. I loved my Pico when I started sailing, but now crave more speed and excitement: Laser 4.7!!

Topazes are okish, but i hate picos!

ohh the thrill! Btw you should sail a topper rather than a 4.7, pretty much the same but cheaper and the hull isnt too big for the rig, bigger sail on a topper and they actually have a good fleet. but i sposer you cant switch rigs as you grow.
