Vagabond 14
Description
The Vagabond 14 is a 13.67-foot ultralight high-performance daggerboard dinghy designed by Ron Holder and built by Vagabond Yachts (USA) from 1976-1982 in fiberglass construction, with the design later purchased by Hobie in 1983 and renamed the Holder 14 for continued production through various iterations including the Holder 14 MKI (1983-1987), Holder 14 MKII (1987), and Hobie-One 14 (1988 until end of production), though total quantity built remains unspecified in available records. This fractional sloop-rigged racing dinghy features a very stable and stiff design optimized for performance sailing, with key characteristics including its 265-pound displacement, wooden daggerboard and rudder, hanked-on jib configuration, open cockpit layout with no cabin accommodations,
