One Design Class Profile: Vanguard 15

by Leave a Comment

Dubbed by many as the ideal post-grad boat, the Vanguard 15 has enjoyed continued success as a double-handed, one-design racing platform at both the club, national and international levels. The new standard for international team racing, the V15 is light, fast and easy to transport and sail. Combined with a reasonable price tag ($7,500 new, $2,000-$5,000 used), the boat’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent years.

Designed over 15 years ago by naval architect Bob Ames, the V15 incorporates a light, fast hull shape for racers while remaining stable and comfortable for day sailing. The revolutionary hull design allows the boat to plane in moderate breeze. Built by Laser Performance, the V15 is constructed of a lightweight, yet durable fiberglass and features molded gunwales that fit the curve of the sailor’s legs.

The V15 also sports a three-foot daggerboard which allows the cockpit to remain open and uncluttered. The simple rig has minimal control lines and no spinnaker making it an easy boat for beginners, yet still providing a thrill for experienced racers. A full list of the boat’s features can be found below:

  • Recessed jib leads
  • Molded gunwales
  • Mainsheet bridle for centerline sheeting
  • Revolutionary hull design allows planing in 12 knots of breeze; widened transom for maximum stability downwind
  • Non-tapered mast
  • Molded kick-up rudder
  • Daggerboard eliminates the need for gaskets
  • Original sails designed by North Sails

Unlimited Racing Opportunities

The Vanguard 15 boasts one of the strongest class associations of any one-design fleet, running hundreds of events each year. With fleets located across the country, there are opportunities to get involved from the club level to championship regattas. The V15 is a popular club level fleet racer as well as team racer.

Getting involved in racing is easy. The Vanguard 15 Class Association maintains a web presence meant to be the primary form of communication between racers. Check out their site for fleet listings, upcoming events, membership details and the latest news.

by Leave a Comment

The CRIMSON SAILING ACADEMY has two racing clinics scheduled for Summer 2013.  We are offering an Advanced Team Racing Clinic on August 27-29, and the Sailing the Collegiate Dinghies Clinic scheduled for August 20-22.  Both clinics are day clinics intended for high school, junior and college sailors who wish to learn collegiate sailing techniques and practice like one of the top college sailing teams in the country.  NO HOUSING IS PROVIDED.  

The ADVANCED TEAM RACING CLINIC will

cover the fundamental attitude, the overall plan and the fine details of execution required to team race at the highest level. The clinic will include classroom, video, and on-the-water sessions. Sailing will take place in Harvard’s fleet of FJ dinghies. Come as a skipper, a boat or as a team of 3 boats.  24 sailors came and trained with us last summer.  A minimum of 6 boats is required for the clinic to proceed.

DATE:  August 27-29 (Tuesday – Thursday) – $240 per sailor

SAILING COLLEGIATE DINGHIES CLINIC is a great opportunity for sailing teams that need a little extra coaching boost to get some additional instruction.  All aspects of sailing the Collegiate FJ and 420 will be covered.  Specific topics will include straight-line speed, tacking, gybing, and boat handling for starting.  Sailing will take place in Harvard’s fleet of FJs and 420s. 

DATE:  August 20-22 (Tuesday – Thursday) – $210 per sailor  

LOCATION:  Harvard Sailing Center, 45 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA
