Boat Location

Our two Vanguards (red hull and blue hull) are located in Stalls 2602 and 2601 on the northeast side of the compound, east of the main JSC building. They are located next to the Northwest 14.

Special Instructions

The Vanguard is a two-person monohull for recreational sailing or racing. Each Vanguard has its own Companionway dolly.

We recommend that you fully review the rigging instructions before taking these craft out for the first time each year.

When returning from sailing, please ensure that all equipment and the hulls are thoroughly rinsed free of saltwater and sand before storing. The sails should be dry, with jib rolled with jib sheets and mainsail rolled onto boom before being placed into the bag and stored in the club room in the northeast corner. The tiller/rudder, daggerboard, mainsheet, and paddle are stored in the blue or red fin bags on the south wall of the club room.

Rigging Instructions

Please review the Vanguard 15 rigging instructions and the Vanguard 15 rigging manual.

Here is a reasonably good basic Vanguard 15 rigging video (with some differences from how we store and rig our Vanguards).
