2007 Vanguard Nomad5m

This is a beautiful bright red Nomad with a recent makeover by the team at La Vida Starships.

It's our opinion that the Nomad is the best all around daysailer that we have sailed.

Designed by Bob Ames, designer of the Vector and Vanguard 15, the Nomad is unlike any other daysailer on the market. The Nomad combines performance, stability, and durability in a package that appeals to beginners and experts alike. One of our goals for the Nomad was to design and build a boat that sailed very well but which also had creature comforts one might associate with bigger boats. There is plenty of room for adults, kids, and storage for all the gear that comes with them.Highlights:

• Convenient storage in four lockers in the cockpit which is perfect for extra gear, an anchor, cooler or whatever your needs are
• Large, open, self bailing cockpit.
  
• Comfortable seating with angled backs
• Mariner Dacron sails and a roller furler jib
• Enclosed centerboard
• Dry sail or store on a mooring or a slip
• Easily rigged in 20 minutes. Mast can be raised by 1 person
• Clean halyards, sheets, and sail controls:
  • Mainsheet is led away from passengers for less clutter in the cockpit
  • Compression vang creates more space under the boom
    
  
  This rig includes:
  • Recently painted trailer with new lights, boards
  • New Dacron mainsail
  • New Dacron roller furling jib
  • SS swim ladder
