Production

It is claimed 404 of masthead rigged sloops were made. The standard arrangement has a small galley aft and settees/berths port and starboard. Their hulls, like most early fiberglass boat hulls, are known for being significantly thicker than more modern fiberglass construction with alternating layers of 1.5 oz. fiberglass mat and 24 oz. woven roving. The full shoal-draft keel has a 4250 lb. lead ballast embedded into it with a displacement of 10,300 - 12,600 lbs. [2] [3]

Variants

The Vanguard was available in a sloop rig with either a standard height or tall mast. [4] It was powered bys an "Atomic 4" gasoline engine, however many have been replaced with marine diesels. It was equipped with tiller steering, but many have been converted to a wheel.

Misc

There is an active Owners' Group at Yahoo! Groups [5] and a resource website at PearsonVanguard.org. [6]
