Vanguard 15
Features
Simple, Fast, and Fun:
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.
