Overview

The Vanguard DR500 is a multi-purpose boat with high bow sheer that ensures safety in all sea conditions. It is designed for beginners, sports activities and family touring.

It can be easily towed and is compact for storage at the end of the season.

Closed-cell polyurethane foam filling provides extra buoyancy, making the boat practically unsinkable.

The DR500 has a large, strong and non-slip bow stowage locker, which can be used for access to other boats via the bow.

The DR500 can be fitted with an choice of optional jockey consoles - internal cable conduits free up the deck and the transom counterbracket provides access to the bilge, allowing the installation of a pump.
