Richard Henderson's writings about the Vanguard from "Philip L. Rhodes and His Yacht Designs" "Perhaps one of the most successful Rhodes fiberglass cruisers is the Vanguard, which was designed in 1962 for Pearson Yachts of Warren, Rhode Island. She looks quite a bit like a larger version of the Ranger, except that her windows are smaller. The smaller windows are preferable not only for aesthetic reasons, but also for extra strength if the boat is taken offshore. The Vanguard's measurements are 32 feet 8 inches by 22 feet 4 inches by 9 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 6 inches. Her layout below is similar to the Ranger's - except, of course, that there is more room and the galley is considerably larger. Also, the main cabin has two extra berths in the form of an extension transom on the port side and a fold-up berth to starboard. An optional arrangement has two quarter berths, a dinette to port, and the galley stretched out along the starboard side of the main cabin.
