One-Design Philosophy
At Vanguard we believe that one-design racing is the purest form of sailboat racing and we have dedicated ourselves to producing the finest racing and recreational one-design sailboats in the world. It is our belief that a one-design class needs several key ingredients to be successful. A strong class needs a steady supply of affordable boats that are well built for long lives; and these boats must be reproduced identically.

At Vanguard we have always felt that these needs were best met by perfecting manufacturing practices. We have invested in equipment, process controls and tooling to ensure that we produce the most consistent products in the world. We seek to continuously improve our plant and processes to deliver the highest value possible.
High-quality gel coat, resin, and fiberglass are just the start. If the manufacturing process is not carefully controlled, then the fiberglass laminates will be variable, and the boats assembled from those laminates will vary in weight, stiffness, durability, and performance.
At Vanguard our goal is to build the finest sailboats in the world!
