Vanguard

Vanguard

 

Since its launch last year, Vanguard, which was designed by David Lyons and owner Dick Cawse, has turned plenty of heads and recorded some enviable results including 2nd over the line and on handicap in the Pittwater – Coffs Race in January and overall winner of the CYCA’s 2004-05 Ocean Pointscore on IMS and PHS.

Some modifications to the Cawse/Lyons 60 over winter have seen the boat pick up even more pace downwind and this non canting keeled, non water ballasted 60 footer is expected to give the ‘exotic flyers’ a good run for their money.

Vanguard will be skippered by Gold Coast based Neale Cawse and will be sailing for Southport Yacht Club, the finish club for this race.
