Velocity Made Good (VMG) has made a very good first impression.
The New York-based shipyard, founded by fellow sailors Michael Schwartz and Karl Reed, has come onto the high-performance sailing scene with an innovative trimaran already in the pipeline.
The new VMG 53 is the first model in the yard’s planned series of offshore trimarans, which combine performance, comfort, and long-range cruising capability. Developed in partnership with an international team of industry specialists, the 53-footer delivers the space and practicality of a modern multihull along with the speed and agility of an ocean racer.
“Designed to eliminate traditional compromises between performance, luxury and dynamic stability, it presents an exterior that is disruptive, purposeful and timeless, underpinned by an innovative deck and propulsion layout engineered for confident short‑handed sailing,” Schwartz said in a statement.
The VMG 53 features a sleek, sculpted silhouette, with long, flowing lines running from bow to stern. The first unit showcases an eye-catching colorway in which the deep green on the hulls transitions to a golden bronze as the light changes. That palette is echoed in the interior, where cork and eucalyptus wood play against bronze hardware.
