Vanguard 15: Simple, Fast, Fun
The Vanguard 15, desinged by Bob Ames, the double-handed one-design boat of the future, is here today delivering high speed and fun in a simple, durable, lightweight package. The V-15 is the perfect boat for sailing in your local yacht club fleet, international caliber team racing or knocking around with the family. The V-15 is lighter, tougher, easier to transport, and more fun than any other boat in its class; and, like all Vanguard boats, it affords you access to all the knowledge, support, and service that Vanguard has become famous for over the past 25 years.
From the outset the V-15 was designed to provide high performance in an extremely simple, comfortable, and durable package. The V-15 hull shape was tank tested to plane easily in moderate air and carry a wide range of crew weights effortlessly. The result is a hull that can be sailed competitively by crews ranging from 260-340 lbs. The wide, flat stern provides unmatched stability and control in all wind and sea conditions.
