Vanguard Bug

With its innovative dual rig system designed for easy and economical sailing, the Bug accommodates young sailors from championship racers to beginners. thanks to the Bug's two position gooseneck, both rigs use the same boom and bottom mast section so changing sails takes only a few minutes. With the Bug, you get two boats in one, perfect for young sailors transitioning from one rig to the other and for families with lots of keen sailors.

RIG OPTION 1:
The Standard Bug rig is ideal for training novice sailors and building the confidence of young racers. The sail can be reffed by furling it around the mast so you can adjust the sail area to fit the sailor and wind velocity. The rig offers a choice of four colorful sails made of Dacron so they're durable and forgiving.

RIG OPTION 2:
The Bug Race rig was designed for more seasoned racing sailors who want a competitive boat that will help them keep learning. The sail fits onto a unique Power curve topmast section that is pre-bent to create a wing-shaped sailplan for a boat that's fast and fun to sail. The race rig comes with a radial Mylar sail available in two eye-catching designs.
