Have taken the plunge and aquired another Finn. Not quite as old, and still needs work, but at least it gets me back on the water.

Regards

Hi Nick
Did you manage to find an old Vangard or have you settled something else. I'm glad that you found a suitable project. I hope you will be ready to sail it at Shearwater.

Thanks guys. I found an old Vanguard, originally registered in Holland, and then transferred to UK around '79. These boats really are extraordinary value. Should be OK for Shearwater, but needs some work on decks and in the mast support area. Interesting mast, though, half ally and half carbon, Needlespar's first answer to the carbon 'threat'. Can't say I've ever come across one before.

Regards

Nick
