Remarkable: the basic price already includes the motor, sails and even a double wheel steering system, lighting, a power supply and much more. The Viko S 35 already caused a stir at boot 2019 with this offer. However, a test was not possible for a long time, as the shipyard only wanted to provide a model that was ready for series production. Now, more than a year after its premiere on the Rhine, it was available in Neustadt via Yachthandel Hamburg.
Key question: What is the quality and design of the boat, what is missing in terms of equipment to be able to compare it with the competition? In fact, the standard engine turned out to be quite weak, the sail area rather small in the standard version and the tanks below average in volume. Just examples and things that can be fixed with money from the shipyard.
But it would be wrong to define the Viko S 35 solely in terms of low price and low performance; it has other unique selling points. Such as very appealing lines, also thanks to the raised bulwark. Or a huge cockpit that is almost too deep. All in all, the boat is well worth seeing in its entirety.
