17 Vanguard Nomad 2003

w/Custom Trailer & 3 Hp Outboard, Always Sailed in Fresh Water

\"Goals for the new dinghy were easily driven hull with planing potential, performance sailplan with asymmetrical spinnaker, crew of three to four adults, a sense of comfort and safety, self-bailing cockpit so the boat can live on a mooring, lost of storage and the option of an outboard motor.  The deck cockpit of the Nomad is designed so you have the option of sitting in the boar with a short seatback, angled for comfort or you can sit on the rail.  The rail is about 8 inches wide aft and that\'s enough to be comfortable when hiking.  The seat level continues around the boat making a well of sorts forward of the amast.  This provides good safety for kids and makes it very easy to move around on the boat.  The cockpit is very clean and control lines have been routed to keep them out of the cockpit.  The mainsheet is on a bridle on the transom but from there it leads through the bilge to exit at the top of the centerboard trunk.  \"
