This Phil Rhodes design has graceful lines, traditional sheer, engineered fittings, comfortable appointments, and performance to match! The designer has kept draft exceptionally shallow as compared to most heavy-ballasted boats... but has increased beam for more roominess and comfort. The high displacement ratio and ample ballast make Vanguard very stable in heavy going, surprisingly nimble in light airs.
