Built in1930 and based on the 22 Square Metre Skerry Cruiser rules, VIGILANT was one of Uffa Fox's early ventures into keelboat design and the forerunner to the famous Flying Fifteens. She is of very light construction, so much so that the Q Class which raced on the Solent refused to allow her to compete.

Sleek and stylish with a long counter, her fractional rig would not look out of place among today's yachts.

There is, currently under discussion, the possibility of recreating these yachts to form a small racing fleet.
