Vanguard 15 description

• self: Tailing Winches, 5hp merc motor, swim ladder, Anchor
• 1975 Chrysler 22 sailboat designed by Halsey Herreshoff. This is the more popular swing keel version allowing it to be towed. This version also has the pop: top allowing you to stand straight up in the cabin. Keel winch crank works well, new rudder head and bearings have been purchased and are ready for install, new rudder shaft has been installed, and half of the cabin cushions reupholstered with more fabric ready to finish. Boat sits on an included double axel trailer and includes a main, jib, and racing genoa sails. Boat is being sold AS IS and will make a great project for someone wanting a solid blue water cruiser.
• Reason for selling: When I was younger my dad started a sailing club for kids aged 9: 15. It proved to be a highlight in my adolescent years. This boat was donated to the club which sold it to me. The idea was for me to be a skipper in the club using this boat for teaching kids about sailing. The problem is that as a full time teacher and professional musician I have not been able to dedicate the time needed to get it sailing. I'm sad to see it go. I like the layout and stability. But...with my oldest daughter having just turned 9 and the club season upon me I need to find something that is ready for the water this spring/summer. Feel free to call or text with questions.
• New cushions and covers, new paint in and out, masts recently re: stepped. 4 head sails, main and mizzen all in good to new shape. Extra rigging, stay cables and blocks. The ropes are only 2 years old. Teak decks, cedar strip plank hull, teak stanchions, oak ribs. Very nice lines, classic look.
• Trance is a custom built design by well-known naval architect Angelo Lavranos, constructed of aluminum (5083: H3 alloy temper). She is a serious, fast offshore cruiser, built for sailing all latitudes. She was professionally and solidly built in Cape Town by the renowned shipyard Jacobs Brothers, up to standards for handling conditions common in the Southern Ocean. She feels strong and tough in pounding waves, yet sails like a lady in light winds. The cockpit is deep and safe with the incredible hard dodger (“doghouse”). The transom opens to a swim platform where the windvane steering system is mounted.
• Smooth Atomic: IV engine enhanced with electronic ignition, alternator, newer carb, safety alarms etc. in top condition provides reliable power.
