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.

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.

Re: Calendar - more Vic32
I must admit that for a second I thought it was a Vega. It could easily fool the uninitiated. All in all a very good pic of the Vic.
