The Nomad 17, originally produced by Vanguard Sailboats (later LaserPerformance), is a highperformance daysailer that blends the stability of a traditional family cruiser with the technical DNA of a racing skiff. Designed by Bob Ames—the naval architect behind the Vanguard 15 and the highoctane Vector—the Nomad was introduced in the early 2000s to fill a specific market gap: a boat that could carry a family of six in comfort while still providing the planing thrills of a sportboat. Its most striking physical characteristic is its nearly 8foot beam on a 17foot hull, a design choice described by testers as giving the boat the deck space and stability of an "aircraft carrier."
