By V15 Class Association

Communication is the lifeblood of any one-design class. While the methods have evolved over the years, the need to share tuning tips, regatta schedules, and stories remains the same.

Local Fleet Lists

Most active racing happens at the fleet level. Many fleets maintain their own email lists, Google Groups, or WhatsApp chats for organizing local practice and racing.

If you are looking to join the fun, your best bet is to reach out to a local fleet captain.

• Chicago Corinthian Yacht Club (Fleet 80)
• Cedar Point Yacht Club
• Willamette Sailing Club

Social Media

Many fleets have active Facebook groups or Instagram pages. Searching for "Vanguard 15 [Your City]" is often the quickest way to find the local crowd.
