Vanguard 470 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

Approximate drawing

The Vanguard 470 is a highperformance, doublehanded Olympic racing dinghy that has served as a benchmark for technical sailing since its introduction. Designed by Frenchman André Cornu in 1963, the 470 was conceived as a modern fiberglass planing hull that could accommodate a wide range of crew weights and sizes. While the class is built by several licensed manufacturers worldwide, hulls produced by Vanguard Sailboats—founded by the Harken brothers in Wisconsin—are particularly noted in North American history for their competitive dominance during the 1970s and 80s. The vessel is a strict onedesign, meaning all hulls must conform to the tight tolerances of the International 470 Class Association to ensure that racing success is determined by skill rather than equipment.
