Vector
Description
The Vanguard Vector (commonly called the Vector) is a high-performance double-trapeze skiff designed in 2001 by Bob Ames (of Bob Ames Naval Architecture) in collaboration with Steve Clark. It was built by Vanguard Sailboats (USA) as a modern, accessible performance dinghy aimed at bridging the gap between elite-level skiffs and more forgiving boats for intermediate sailors. Only a limited number were produced, making it relatively rare today.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
