Vanguard Nomad

This jazzed up daysailer offers a stable yet swift ride that's perfect for family sailing.

The Vanguard Nomad is a 17-foot sloop from the drawing board of Bob Ames, father of the Vanguard 15, and the busy production lines of Rhode Island-based Vanguard Sailboats, builder of the Laser, Sunfish, Optimist, 49er and Zuma. The Nomad is billed as a performance daysailer, and after a quick October session in the Severn River off Annapolis, it immediately became clear that the Nomad is fast, and sailing it is easy, with a sense of purposefulness.

The details The Nomad is beamy, a full eight feet at maximum, and is stable. The cockpit is broad and uncluttered. The seats are comfortable and adequate for four adults or two adults and a covey of kids. It gives the impression of an aircraft carrier rather than a narrow racing dinghy. But there is real horsepower under the hood.

The well-finished hull weighs 625 pounds. The mast can be raised and the boat rigged by one person-a very valuable feature when sailing with young kids. The whole package, including the 174-square-foot sailplan, can be rigged in about 20 minutes.

On deck The Nomad provides a simple and easy sailing platform. The "in and out" of the jib is controlled via roller furler. The halyards, sheets and sail controls are clean and well engineered. The mainsheet is led away from the passengers and toward the helmsman.

The Nomad comes standard with a set of 3DL sails built with North's Rotary Molding technology. These sails are based upon North's 3DL big boat racing sails that have been extremely successful in the commercial market and on the race course. Until the RM technology came online, production-built 3DL sails were limited solely to big boats. These high-tech sails seem a bit out of place on a boat marketed as a nonracing family daysailer, but performance-oriented sailors who are concerned that the broad and stable Nomad will cramp their style will be pleased to have them as part of the package.

A galvanized trailer also comes standard with the Nomad, although the boat could also be stored in the water at a dock or on a mooring. The Nomad's centerboard and kick-up rudder make trailering and storing a simple proposition.

Appropriately the Nomad comes with a lot of storage space. Four large cockpit lockers provide ample space that is augmented by two forward watertight compartments. Coolers and other kid gear will find proper space, as will the anchor, a small outboard, the spinnaker and other boat equipment

The Nomad will really come into its element when used for recreational sailing by two adult couples or by older, more experienced kids. The boat is simple enough that it can be sailed by one and maneuvered by two. It's equipped with an 180-square-foot asymmetrical spinnaker that is easily deployed, handled and doused. The spinnaker, designed with the broad and stable hull in mind, is sizeable and powerful enough to produce real speed off the wind.

Under sail On a blustery October day following the United States Sailboat Show, in Annapolis, Maryland, I had a chance to try out this new daysailer. Having grown up a child of the fiberglass sailboat revolution, spending time bashing around in a Laser as a youth and now a father looking to find that perfect vehicle to spark that same love of sailing in the next generation, I'm on the lookout for a family daysailer that hits a sweet spot between a family RV and a jazzed-up sports car. After a spin in the Nomad, I found it to have the right mix of performance with a stable, well-balanced ride to meet this criteria. The boat accelerated quickly but was light and smooth enough through the water so that the loads were not extraordinary. The Nomad will make a fine daytripper or training platform for yacht clubs or sailing schools.

There are no immediate plans for a one-design racing component to the Nomad program, and it is not legal for PHRF racing in most areas. However, racing isn't everything and when the breeze picks up, it is capable of providing enough white-knuckled thrills to keep experienced sailors smiling over and over again.

ODay 14 info

• Thread starter Stiletto27
• Start date Aug 19, 2009

• Ask An Oday Owner

Hi my names Lee Stauber, 70yo, retired, own a Stiletto27SE which I sail On Conesus Lake,NY. I just was given an old boat for my grandchildren to sail. A Nomad 14.The hull, sails, and rigging are all in very good shape, stored in a barn for the last 20 or more years, but the rudder assy and dagger board are missing. I'm told it's the same boat as a Oday 14? The hull # is SUR00026M84A. I'm looking to buy rudder/tiller assy, or plans, or picture, or any info to help me build one. Any help would be appreciated.  

Sunbird22358

Well, there never was an "O'DAY 14", O'Day did build a couple of 14' sailboat models, but none were ever called the "O'DAY 14". I just looked up the "NOMAD 14" in my 1984 SAIL Magazine sailboat & equipment guide, I see that she was built by the same company that built the PRINDLE Catamarans...... this would explain the O'Day connection! When Bangor Punta sold O'DAY/CAL/Ranger to Lear Siegler, Prindle Catamarans were temporarily included in the new Division of LS known as "Starcraft Sailboats" I think during this time a couple of NOMAD 14s were built as "O'Days".......MAYBE?? I remember seeing one on eBay several years ago, and the stripes and logos did say "O'Day"..... but I don't think the boat was really ever sold as a true O'DAY....... perhaps it was a custom boat built for/by an employee of Prindle? I actually thought at the time that the boat was a HOLDER 14 (built by HOBIE) that someone had repainted to look like an O'DAY. Rudy Nickerson at D&R Marine (508) 644-3001 might have some info from his O'DAY Files, but since this wasn't an "O'DAY" I'm not sure what he would have, however it might be worth the cost of a phone call! If you could get the dimensions of the HOLDER 14 rudder, you might be able to adjust it to fit.

Thanks for the getback. My sail looks like the one pictured. My boat is identical to the one on www.iheartodays.com under model info Oday 14. I'm going to try getting info on that Holder 14. Thanks again

Project Scope:  Repaint hull; replace damaged interior panel; prepare for new plumbing and wiring

December 31, 2015

< Back to Nomad

With the required or at least prudent full-day waiting period before I could mask over the brand-new hull paint, there was little I could do beyond cleaning up the spray equipment, prepping boottop paint for the work ahead, and removing the masking tape I’d applied where the boottop would be.

I looked forward to having this image-changing part of the project behind me, and to getting back on board for the first time since I got ahead of myself and masked her up a few months earlier.

Total time billed on this job today:  .5 hours

0600 Weather Report: 25°, cloudy.  Forecast for the day:  Possible wintery showers, then mainly sunny, high in the upper 30s

Vanguard Nomad Sailboat

The Vanguard Nomad is a 17' dinghy from the desk of designer Bob Ames, who also designed the Vanguard 15, and Vector. It is a beamy boat at 8', and carries 185 sq ft of sail. The boat was first built in 2003, and fewer than 300 hulls were built. The last were sold in 2009. Dave Reed in Sailing World Magazine described the Nomad as follows: " The Nomad was designed by Bob Ames, with input from Vanguard chairman Steve Clark. Both of them have speed on the brain, which is obvious in the Nomad. In his designer’s comments, Clark says, “Day sailing should equal pleasure sailing, and that demands an even better boat than a racing boat.” We wholeheartedly agree.

Ames’ answer was a hull and rig combination that’s “all about performance”—a boat with a fine entry, long waterline, super-wide beam (8-feet max at the deck), high-aspect rudder and centerboard, tapered mast, asymmetric spinnaker, and a 175-square-foot North 3DLrm sail inventory with roller-furling jib. Ironically, each of these raceboat attributes also make a great day sailing boat as well—the fine entry cuts through chop, the wide beam provides stability at the dock and when sailing, the deep blades enhance control, the tapered mast is easier to step and de-power, and rolling a jib is much quicker and easier than reefing a main."

The Nomad is supplied with a trailer, allowing easy transportation to your favourite launching area, but it can also be tied at a marina dock or left on a mooring. It takes about 20 minutes once you arrive at the boat ramp to set up the Nomad, and while it can be done yourself, having a second person speeds setup and launching. The self-bailing cockpit allows for worry-free mooring, even during a rainy period.

The Nomad can be single-handed, or five friends can comfortably join you. Solo sailor 'Nomad Tom' states: "I don't want complications as I'm usually sailing solo. I was out today in 10-15 kts of wind under main alone as I didn't want to be overpowered. While beating north the boat handled very well. It tracks beautifully with little to no weather helm. It slaps some of the waves, depending on the frequency and steepness of the boat that made them. It doesn't appear to be slowed down by them. It's a very dry boat with only occasional bow spray.

After twenty minutes of main only, I unfurled the jib and noticed an immediate increase in boat speed. The wind was strong enough that I had to luff the main to keep from burying the rail. I don't want to go over in this boat as I would not be able to right it. It will turtle fast, however, there are sail floats available to keep it from turtling.

Sailing solo is quite easy, though your hands are full, one hand on the main sheet, one on the tiller. Being able to douse/furl the jib with the pull of a line is worth the price of admission. I usually sail into and out of the launch area under just the jib. If I had crew with me, I'd probably raise the main at the launch dock and sail out with both sails flying. But single handling this boat, and hauling the main up the mast is a little bit of work."

Another anonymous owner stated: " I bought my Nomad new in 2005 but just sold her. Someone once referred to this boat as "The Lexus of Daysailers" and that's pretty appropriate. I had my boat out in 25mph winds several times in Tampa Bay and was never afraid. She's an incredibly stable boat as long as you don't fly the spinnaker in winds over 15 - 20mph. I've sailed this boat with 6 adults aboard and it was tight but comfortable.

If anyone is looking for a great family daysailer that's easy to rig and sail? You can't go wrong with a used Nomad."

The Vanguard has since been orphaned by its manufacturer, and, as the only other resource about this boat at YachtPals.com has been overrun by spammers, I felt it time to build a resource here. Over the next few months, I'll add a variety of resources and information about this boat.

Sail Tuning Notes

Here is some info on rigging the Nomad from Seve Clark who co-developed the boat along with Bob Ames. He basically said to rake the spreaders a bit aft of straight out board. I'm not sure exactly what holes things were happiest in, but the boat is pretty tolerant. Things that are "standard" work pretty well.

That is to say, you want plenty of rig tension as the breeze builds. This keeps the luff of the jib from sagging, which is how you keep the jib flat. The mast should be set up with a bit of pre bend. That is to say when the rig is pulled on snug there is a little fore and aft bend induced by the spreaders. You do not want the mid panel of the mast to sag to leeward, so if that is happening, you will want to shorten the spreaders. Try 3 holes showing  If the mast looks like it is bowing too far to windward, then you will want to move the tip s out a hole or two. This is usually something that you can judge as you are sailing, and if things look abnormal, you can almost always sheet it soft and get home.

Try putting the shrouds someplace in the middle of the range on the hole adjusters. You should be able to pull pretty hard on the jib halyard and still have the mast raked aft by a fair bit. The lowers should be put such that they not really slack, but no where near as tight as the uppers when there is no vang on. In a breeze, you want to flatten the mainsail. You do this by pulling hard on the out haul, hard on the down haul and by setting the vang pretty hard as well. Mast bend flattens the sail so you want to let it bend. One way is to let the lowers off a hole or two and by pulling harder on the vang tackle. The strut pushes the mast forward and thus induces a bunch of bend. You can, as a result ease the mainsheet quite a bit and still have a flat sail.

The Nomad is a pretty stable boat, but it is a center boarder and we wanted it to be pretty responsive. So you should expect to have to trim and ease the sails and to feather in puffs. This isn't a big heavy keel boat, so some agility and dexterity is necessary in response to changing conditions. If you stick with it,  you will become more confident and comfortable with the capacities of the design. The thing to do is to take your time, recognize that it is a challenge and work your way forward.

TIP - tie a knot in the jib halyard once the mast is raised to prevent the mast falling should the halyard slip in the clam cleat.

See information on mast stepping below as well.

Can you trapeze from it? The Vanguard Nomad does not include a trapeze. 

Information contributed by Nomad sailors

Many thanks to those who contribute bits and pieces of useful information about our boat.

Other options

One of the frequent challenges faced by owners of the Nomad is tangled jib halyards. The jib halyard on the Nomad is a two-part unit; there is a 2:1 wire halyard largely outside the mast, and a 3:1 rope halyard inside the mast, connected by a block. This combination causes the rope inside the mast to twist upon itself, making it impossible, over time, to lower the mast. Bob Ames described the issue:  " The halyard problem has a number of sources. First, laid wire and braided line are not the best combo, as the wire will untwist under load. Braided line is balanced so the wire causes the rope to twist. It can grab other lines and rivets along the way. If you coil the rope improperly it adds to the problem. If you keep the wire, you should replace the braided line with 3-strand pre-stretch. Seldon is shipping masts with this combo but I think the 4mm line is a bit small. A better solution (I may be trying this myself) is to replace the wire with rope and leave the purchase as is (braided line)."

Some tried simply  replacing the jib halyard with a single line, and found that although the mast could be raised, the lack of purchase prevented sufficient tightening of the jib when underway, so it is necessary to keep both segments of the halyard as designed, even if replacing parts. Having tried numerous ways to disentangle the halyard in my mast I finally totally disassembled it, disentangled the rope, and reassembled it. Here are the steps I took:

Gather tools and parts needed:  Large and regular Phillips head screwdrivers, pliers, butcher twine, a 4' length of wire and possibly a small cotter pin, hammer and a drill and drill bits, pop rivet tool. 

Disassembly:

- Near the top of the mast is a sheave  (e.g. SLD 50507101)  held by  pop rivets  or  screws . Remove this sheave, either by carefully drilling out the pop rivets or removing the screws. If pop rivets, carefully tap the remainder into the mast without enlarging the hole. 

- Pull the wire halyard out of the mast, including the small block  (e.g. Harken H405)  attached to the end. Detach the wire from the block, and tie the twine to the block for later retrieval. Place the block back into the mast.

- Remove the mast heel plug from the base of the mast, pulling the entire rope halyard with it. You will need to ensure the bitter end also is withdrawn from the exit point on the mast. Either tie another length of twine to this so you can later recover it, or you can use the piece of wire at assembly. If necessary, dump the rivet ends by raising the mast until they fall out.

Disentanglement

- Disentangle the rope, and, remove any twists in it, then re-thread it through the blocks and sheaves remembering it should run from the becket of the block through the back of the sheave in the foot, then over the front of the upper block and down to the exit sheave on the rear of the mast. A length of wire inserted through the lower exit sheave pair, to the base of the mast will allow the easiest retrieval of the halyard through the sheaves; alternately, use the string you initially attached to the bitter end of the halyard.

A further advantage of using the Vectrus 12 line and T-Ball bail is the ease of removing the loop of line over the T-Ball bail. This allows the Luggage Tag loop to be threaded through the sheave at the top of the jib, rather than needing to remove the pin and sheave to insert the wire. Given this was a finicky task, with the possible loss of parts I'm really happy to slip the loop off the bail, thread it through the sheave, and re-attach the loop to the bail!

Just a quick platform to allow the storage of a small outboard motor, and a plastic tote containing life jackets and other bits and pieces needed for a day on the lake. It consists of two 2x6 cut to about 5 inches. and a series of thin strips attached across them to raise the platform above the boom and rudder.

Nomad Description

S/Y NOMAD is 2019 built Lagoon 52. With its diamond-shaped vertical bows, beveled hulls, its as if levitated deckhouse and tall rig, NOMAD is no ordinary catamaran, but its originality goes a great deal further than just its ´outer´ appearance, or even its interior layout. Superior in terms of elegance, comfort, safety, user friendliness and, it goes without saying, performance under sail. LUXURIOUS AND CONTEMPORARY with soft shades for a harmonious interior continuous horizontal and fluent lines give the interior open and generous spaces continuity between exterior and interior life, a slender exterior design for a boat with a strong character. The saloon encompasses the lounge and dining table to starboard, a large galley in U shape on port side the chart table in the middle, facing out to sea, the “U” galley is equipped with large hot plates, large work space and plenty of storage the circulation in the salon is optimized, between the lounge and the galley, all the cabins have large double beds, storage space in keeping with the offshore sailing program of the boat and, of course, an en-suite bathroom with separate shower, the cabins have incomparable natural lighting thanks to the fixed hull windows, together with excellent ventilation thanks to the deck hatches and portholes that open out to the hull-side or to the cockpit. “In the eyes of an eight-year-old, the most wonderful thing about Lake Michigan was grandpa’s boat. Sailing was a love of his and I was a glad participant. A particularly rare treat was spending the night on the boat, gently being rocked to sleep by the bobbing waves and steady clanking of metal against mast. My grandpa tried to show me the Milky Way, directing my eyes by way of the North Star. He told us the meaning of the boat’s name, a word that sounded funny at the time. “Nomad,” he said, “is the word for a wanderer, a drifting, homeless traveler.” Feeling like the darkened sky could swallow me up in seconds, under the stars, I felt the same.” by Ravi Zacharias Ministries.

Nomad 17 is a 17 ′ 1 ″ / 5.2 m monohull sailboat designed by Bob Ames and built by Vanguard (USA) starting in 2003.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
