Vantage V0 is out of the pool after its latest test session, and it left the water the way it is meant to: carried by one person.

No crane, no cradle, no support crew. A single operator lifts the vehicle out and walks away with it. That handling requirement has shaped the hull since day one, and it is holding up in practice: rapid field deployment with a natural ergonomic carry.

Pool sessions are validating trim, handling, and recovery routines ahead of open-water work. Salt water is next.
