We have a fleet of 6 now, and they are great boats for teaching and group events. The thing I like about them is that they're responsive without being squirrelly or tippy (they are definitely NOT tippy). The students learn quickly because the boat lets you know when you do it right. It can hold 3 students and a coach, or be sailed by 2 students alone, or even singlehanded. I find them fun to sail and often do so singlehanded. We have capsized them and they seem to have pretty good capsize behavior, in fact they're all but self-righting. We don't use them for regular capsize drill though. We used to have a fleet of FJs and used them, until a hurricane took them away and now we use a Laser. I think a 110 is likely to be a lot more fun for most. A fixed keel could be a pretty serious liability around here, though. FB- Doug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Over the years his dealership and storage lots always have an array of hyper racing catamarans, skiffs and assorted odd craft. He picks them up for pennies on the dollar after they become obsolete or the racing body/series comes to an end. A benefit is that we get to see them out on the local lake on occasion.

Steve Clark 780 #3117 Posted September 22, 2020 Vanguard was the boat building side of Harken. After having all the skin burned off their fingers by 470 International being unwilling to enforce the class rules prior to the 1984 Olympics. A long story, the upshot of which was that rather than building 200+ 470s a year, they built about 10. Peter Olaf and Art had a very successful marine hardware business strapped to the side of a small smelly boat shop. They published that they were sick of it and were going to wind it down and or sell the assets. At the time I was going through some changes. My attempts to build small custom boats was failing. People liked what I was doing, but nobody spent any money buying boats from me. I was working with Bob Ames and Rod Mincher to design and build a better college dinghy. As part of figuring out what that business was like, I called Peter Harken, and at the end of the conversation I understood that I was going to have to compete with Vanguard for every sale. It was a question of either killing them or buying them. The next day I started negotiations to buy the assets of Vanguard. I also recruited Chip Johns to run the business. The tools moved east during the spring and summer of 1986. I chose not to buy the Volant. It was an interesting boat, but too complex and too expensive. You could tell it was designed by Harken because it had about 700 blocks and cleats. There was no Volant class, so there was no pull from the market. I figured it would never volarie. 25 years later, when we were discussing the Performance Daysailer that would become the Nomad, I asked if the molds were still on the Avenue of Broken Dreams in Pewaukee. No dice, and I couldn’t find a used one either. I’m pretty sure the Nomad was a better boat for our purposes and the Volant would have taken serious rework to make it cost effective, but I considered it. Oh and that better college dinghy, became the Vanguard 15. SHC 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most intriguing, the second one has a sticker labelled "Vanguard Pewaukee Wisconsin". @Dave Clark @Steve Clark: I thought that Vaguard was always based in RI. What's the story about the boats and the WI location? Blaise I picked up a Volant (#69) a couple of years ago on craigslist in Minneapolis. Paid $500. It looked about like the Milwaukee one, but still had the trapeze rigged. After a good cleaning and some minor rigging repairs it was ready to go. It's been a blast. You can load it up with 4 adults and it still moves, or you can go out with a single crew on the wire and it planes upwind. The launcher is nice, the vang and cunningham are kind of under-purchased, and the end-of-boom main sheet is a pain. Very seaworthy boat, though. I taught kids and adults in them on Lake Michigan in Milwaukee in the 80s. Mr. Clark is right to say it was too complex and uneconomical to be the all-around daysailor the Harkens meant it to be back in the day. Big thumbs up from me as a craigslist find though! Sure would be great if some more came to Minneapolis! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I may want a couple boats - it may not be worth my while to drive a small boat up and back to Sarasota every year.

Rob Darling designs and hand builds his boats, so (new) they are pricey for a daysailer, but they do draw a crowd when they show up at a race, parking lot or beach. They look fast on the trailer or the water. They had a 15.5 which seems to have sold more.... https://www.sailingtexas.com/stransfusion155100.html It does look fast - but the 5 foot draft may rule it out for me anyway unless it's adjustable or kick back.

It reminds me a singlehander I've seen somewhere.... maybe here.... but those particular brain cells seem to be on vacation. It''ll come to me.... I still think it looks like a great little boat and with that trailer, it's a good deal.. I've built fiberglass stuff using blue insulating foam. If you're making primarily flat panels, and don't need it to bond to form a proper sandwich, it's great. I've used it to bang out a bunch of corner pieces for electrical projects; laid out a bigger project for speaker cabinets but the money for that didn't happen. It really does not like to bend, IMHO not suitable for boats unless you are carving a model hull. I tried slicing it into planks to bend into fair curves and it kept breaking.

Have plan to make hull with foam, using Hobie 16 hull as shear and cutting with hot wire, after glueing with a good glue...maybe a rescorcinal based, as epoxy if too hard to keep fair. Will see what I can garner from boatdesign.net too. Gary Dierking hangs there and gove me idea couple years back... Thanks, keep me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Say anyone have ideas on using foam for hull (blue or pink stuff) and/or used elect wire cutter? PM me? sometime...? You don't want to use that foam for a boat. If it's for floatation, you'll be driven mad by the squeaking that it does when bouncing through the waves. We had a 210 with blue foam in it for floatation and the boat squeaked constantly. If it's for lamination, again a full no as I don't think that it's built as well as divinycell. If it's for making a mold, then go for it. I am using the pink insulating foam from home depot to make a grid(frame) for my carbon t-top project. It's surprisingly easy to work with and sand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobBill 113 #3175 Posted October 30, 2020 Thanks...a210, nice rig...had a 110....I know stuff squeaks but is common hull stuff, and Dierking has used to make ourriggers with it...closed cell ESP glued to shearwev and itself... But also very messy to sand fair too, and why electric wire...to chaape...if glued, shoud not squeak...seems to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pardon spelling, computer problems here and strange keyboards....mine 110 is wood, which I sanded and sheathed. Still driving, I think...last I heard. Up on Minnetonka...love it. Fast, safe and easy to sail alone. Jenny was (then new) and added illegal (then) Hexaratchets to replace snubber...Easy management. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliboat 280 #3178 Posted October 31, 2020 We use inflated flotation tubes in the 110, sealed into watertight(ish) compartments bow and stern for floatation. Much lighter than a bunch of foam, won’t become waterlogged or start to disintegrate into the bilge, and can be deflated to gain access to running rigging, fittings and structure that needs attention. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobBill 113 #3179 Posted November 1, 2020 In my 110, we used no flotation...none...never came up and boat (wood then) and floated fine without it...and current use of foam is not as flotation per se but as hull per se for below rig..."plastic" Malibu Outrigger" (300#s, 220sq ft sail...) just using foam in outrigger in below boat...plan to do for next season.

Right, well having had to abandon a 110 in a race that saw 40 kt gusts some years ago, I think it’s not a great idea to simply rely on the essentially neutral buoyancy of the wood combined with the keel (boat floats right at the gunwale). Water got into the sealed ends of the boat after stuffing a wave at the leeward mark and we didn’t have enough floatation at the time,. Rescuing the boat when it’s that low in the water is basically impossible without access to certain equipment like powerful pumps and float bags. Racing a 110 that doesn’t have watertight bulkheads in decent breeze can be scary if you don’t keep ahead of water ingress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobBill 113 #3181 Posted November 1, 2020 Not disagreeing just what we did...and we often sailed in high winds...a rescue might have been interesting, if not impossible. I loved to sail it alone, with arm in water...on leeward side...was crazy...but then never gave it a thought...and closed cell foam was not in perview...came later in 70s, as I recall.

craigiri 17 #3183 Posted November 4, 2020 The small boat online market is a nightmare - hard to search for boats, many listings are years old, craigslist and fb usually don't come up in google searches and on and on. It's a shame because there are buyers and sellers but they can't easily get matched up...... I'm still linking that Bauer 12 because of the rowing - can just imagine myself building up my core strength but also have something to sail and putter (electric motor) in. Yeah, ads from 2015 and 2013 show up. So far I haven't gotten a single response to a form inquiry. $8K new - I'm not saying it's not worth it as the dude makes each boat by hand in the USA. On one hand I could just be "that guy" who forks over the big bucks (it's the profit I made from a stock sale today!)....on the other hand, I almost never buy anything new. On the third hand...if I had one....I'm not getting any younger and having nice things is cool...cann't ten it with you. Well, if nothing else it's fun searching around.

Have you tried searchtempest.com? It searches all of Craigslist and other classifieds for you. I use it a lot when searching for boats, especially for our program. I've bought a few off of Craigslist in other states that I found through searchtempest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
