[alberg30] Of Vanguards

Hi Scott,
When I was still sailing out of Brooklyn, NY, Sheepshead Bay (now don't make 
jokes-it was good sailing- even in July and August, we had wind there!) there 
were a few Vanguards, and they were highly regarded by the Miramar YC 
membership.  At the time (this brings us up to the 80's) my dad had an 
Islander 32, 1965, with the IC rig, a few feet shorter than the standard rig. 
 But head to head, the Islander was faster than the Vanguards, which 
surprised me. They are all pretty boats, though. I could 'deal with' having 
any  one, or all, of them.
Take care,
Lee
