Pleasing sporty lines: The Viko S22 is a sight to behold
The new Viko was to be affordable and sporty. Visually, the boat is certainly appealing. However, the design has some shortcomings

The Polish Navikom shipyard commissioned the Italian design office of Sergio Lupoli. This resulted in an attractive-looking boat, no easy task for a keuzer only 22 feet long. With a base price of 17,950 euros, Navikom positioned the boat in the very favourable range. So the look and price are right.

The boat had to prove the "rest" in the YACHT test. It proved to be quite slender, moderately fast and partially equipped with inadequate technology. The Viko also proved to be capsize-proof in terms of sufficient righting moment at 90 degrees, but ran over the washbasin during the corresponding heeling test.

More on this in the YACHT test in issue 24 (from 20 November at the kiosk)
