Vanguard Nomad, 2003 (17 feet 2 inches in length),
(Hull # 6),
Nocona, Texas
The Nomad combines superior Vanguard performance with ease of use for two to six people. The Nomad has performance, stability, and durability in a package that appeals to beginners and experts alike. One of the goals for the Nomad was to design and build a boat that sailed very well but which also had creature comforts one might associate with bigger boats. There is plenty of room for adults, kids, and storage for all the gear that comes with them.
Highlights:
Convenient storage in four lockers in the cockpit which is perfect for extra gear, an anchor, cooler or whatever your needs are
Large, open, self bailing cockpit.
Asymmetrical spinnaker
Comfortable seating with angled backs
Dacron or Mylar Sails and a roller furling jib
Enclosed centerboard
Easily rigged in 20 minutes. Mast can be raised by 1 person
Clean halyards, sheets, and sail controls:
Mainsheet is led away from passengers for less clutter in the cockpit
Compression vang creates more space under the boom
Mesh pocket located at the base of the tapered mast for all halyard tails.
