When the Vanguard Explorer Yacht was first introduced, she had just completed an essential round of repairs and commissioning at Yacht Management’s Fort Lauderdale boatyard. The focus was on correcting a flawed Bruntons SigmaDrive installation and realigning key driveline components. Months later, Vanguard has covered more than 2,500 nautical miles through some of the world’s most remote waters, including Canada’s rugged east coast and the icy reaches of Greenland, with every system performing flawlessly.
