Vanguard Vector: There Is No Simpler, Saner Way to Sail
The Vanguard Vector, designed by Bob Ames, designer of the V15, puts double-trapeze skiff performance within your reach… it will have you begging for more!
Modern double-trapeze dinghies have generally fallen into two camps: speedy and nimble but too challenging for all but the very elite sailors, or accommodating to a wide range of skills, yet too heavy and slow to be truly thrilling. The Vanguard Vector offers the speed and handling of the highest performance boats on the market, yet is comfortable and forgiving enough for two intermediate sailors to enjoy.
One of the most amazing things about the Vanguard Vector is its versatility. While putting both sailors on the wire will increase boat speed into the warp zone, the boat is equally capable of sailing with the skipper sitting on the rail.
This feature offers sailors a learning opportunity that is absent from all other skiffs of comparable performance. You can become comfortable with the boat without having to commit to a full trapezing experience right away.
