1965 Pearson Vanguard

A true classic sailboat - dark blue hull, Phil Rhodes designed with beautiful sheer line and gleaming teak brightwork. Grace is a head turner in every harbor. Current owners have lovingly maintained and improved her classic features. Grace under sail is very seakindly, tracking well with her full keel she can be both comfortable yet surprisingly exciting in a stiff 15 - 25 kt breeze. The current owners raised their family sailing and used her cozy cabin as a wonderful overnight respite every summer season over the last 20 years of ownership. Their hope is to find the next caring steward. This Vanguard features the popular dinette layout. Interior is painted white with teak accents and custom wood features.

Since her launch, Grace has always been a freshwater boat sailing in Lake Michigan. She has primarily been a family cruising boat, but also lightly raced in by the second owner. The past 20 years she has been gently used as a day cruiser. Boat Name Grace

Owner’s Comments Since her launch, Grace has always been a freshwater boat sailing in Lake Michigan. She has primarily been a family cruising boat, but also lightly raced in by the second owner. The past 20 years she has been gently used as a day cruiser.

4 owners since new, current owners have had her for 20 years

Mechanical and sailing rig maintenance performed by professionals at yacht yard, annual engine check and tune-up, brightwork has been lovingly maintained by the current owners. She has been hauled and stored inside for the past 20 winters. Her hull was repainted with Awlgrip by the yacht yard in 2013. In 2016 we rechromed some of the deck hardware and the classic South Coast winches.

Annual winterizing and spring engine check and tune-up by yacht yard, all repairs done professionally

Boat mast and rigging removed and stored indoors every winter, boat kept in dry indoor storage with plastic tarp cover
