[Aston Vega - New Owner And Sea Voyage!]

If you want to replace the sliding roof, get in touch with Andy at Freedom, they have one still on hire in its original format and layout. I say that, because i used to see Vega moored in Wroxham. She had the sliding top removed and replaced by a folding canopy, is she still like that?.

Yep she has the canopy. The last owner treated her to a new one so its pretty fresh. If he had a spare hardtop roof laying around I'd take it! I saw the blog post of the total roof replacement rambling freedom had, luckily mine wasn't as bad!

Would love to see some old postcard pics of her though, Anybody got some?

I should probably add I did not condone that at all. I was captain of an unruly crew and wasn't about to go up there and pull him down. Nonetheless the rest of the trip was a lot safer than that.

Hi All,

I became the proud new owner of Vega a while ago to make my home. N699

I wondered if any of you lot might have any pics of her from way back in the day? Would love a bit of history to stick on the wall!

She managed to get from Felixstowe to London on a fairly choppy coastal passage with a crew of 5 and is now receiving some good TLC and a little bit of de-modernising, getting back to the old hardwood look inside!

If you have ever wondered how a 40 foot aston handles in a force 4/5, now you know:
