2004 Vanguard Lc60 Cruiser (sail) in Sydney, |STATE_CODE|

SELLER DESCRIPTION

2004 VANGUARD LC60, 60' The latest from the successful teaming of Naval Architect David Lyons and Sydney Engineer and Yachtsman Mr. Cawse. Vanguard LC60 has already proven herself a winner since being launched in October 2004, with a 2nd overall behind the latest Reichel/Pugh 66 Canting Keeler "Wild Oats" in the 2005 Pittwater to Coffs Harbor Race. Vanguard also won the 2004/05 Ocean Pointscore Series of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, the organizing club of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht race. Designed with twin wheels and an adjustable Trim Tab on the keel giving excellent upwind sailing capabilities. The Waikiki Yacht Club is resurrecting what was formally known as the Clipper & Kenwood Cups in July 2006. Vanguard is the perfect yacht for someone who is serious about being at the front of the fleet and a real contender for IRC handicap honors. The owner has sailed there previously and knows that Vanguard is well suited for this race. Not only does she perform outstandingly upwind, she is also quick downwind.
