Vanguard International 470, 1973

The 470 is a 16 foot racing boat designed for a crew of two. It has a planning hull design, and trapeze rig and plenty of sail area (~280 sq ft with main jib and spinnaker combined) so these boats can really get up and go.

  • Hull Number 210
  • Mold #2
  • Plug#1
  • Sails: Main, Jib and Spinnaker (All good for recreational use, not ideal for racing)
  • Spinnaker Pole
  • Holt Allen Mast and Boom
  • Centerboard (recently re-glassed and painted)
  • Rudder, tiller and tiller extension all in good condition
  • New centerboard trunk gasket
  • Running rigging in good condition
  • Harken blocks in working condition
  • Adjustable trapeze kit brand new
  • Trailer: rusty, but is in good mechanical condition with brand new wheel bearings
  • working lights
  • Recently reinforced bunk and padded plank for walking down the center of the trailer during launch or retrieval

  • Boat has TX title
  • Trailer is recently registered

    Overall, the boat is not cosmetically perfect but is lake ready. New 470s sell for $8-10K, so this is a great opportunity to get started on one for a fraction of the cost.
