Broker's Comments

Boatshed Cornwall are pleased to list this highly desirable Vancouver 28. A blue-water sailing yacht with good characteristics. The newer 28, developed from the Vancouver 27, is fractionally longer in the stern and with a slightly raised sheer, providing a little more volume below decks and designed for short handed cruising.

First impressions on arriving at the pontoon berth revealed a tidy yacht, rigged and ready. Once onboard the presentation was of a very good standard which made it difficult to relate to the date of manufacture, another testament to the build quality and the care taken by subsequent owners.

Recent upgrades include
Engine service (2024)
Renewed Headsail UV strip (2024)
Renewed 2 x House batteries (2024)
Renewed Standing Rigging (2023)
Outer Bottom antifouling (2023)
Harken Mk4 Ocean roller reefing system on forestay for Genoa/Yankee (2023)
Renewed internal & masthead LED lights (2023)

This is a well presented Vancouver 28 and it appears to have been well maintained by the current owners. Currently back on a swinging mooring where it will remain until sold. This mooring is transferreable and includes all amenities, car parking and water taxi.

It is highly recommended a viewing is arranged to appreciate this yacht.
