For what it is worth I find if reversing out doesn't work I can use warps to avoid embarrassment.

I had a few mods on my Vega.
The "Roll cage" was installed by a PO and was a great addition for hanging onto / clipping on when going up front.
The Dodger (PO made and installed) was always a good conversation starter in addition to the protection it provided.
The solar panel mounting built by me was sturdy, lightweight and the solar panel could be removed quickly if need be.
Windvane was great on longer tips. The tiller pilot was possessed by the devil so most short distance sailing steering was done by hand.
Home made mast reinforcement with a concealed beam made from stainless steel angle iron.
Home made beefed up dual anchor roller and chainplate
VHF radio mounted right beside the cockpit door was the best setup ever. Used an adaptor plate to allow connection to a couple of bolts holding the GPS bracket to the coach roof.
Beta 13.5 hp engine.

I loved my Vega.... I added a mini bar to it.. I could get three 75cl bottles of booze in there. Sailed her everywhere as the engine was so unreliable. A Dutch mate of mine also had one and he removed the rudder and sat a transom mounted one. He reckoned it done wonders for it..
