Broker's Comments

Built to handle long passages, blue water and heavy weather sailing, the Vancouver 27 is in a league of its own for build quality and uncompromising cruising design. Good for short handed or solo sailing and the cutter rig and heavy displacement long keel hull allow her to deal with tough sailing conditions.

From the helm, the main sheet and self tailing sheet winches are all within easy reach whilst the wind vane self steering and auto helm both make passage making more relaxing.

The interior has a traditional cruising layout with lots of solid teak finished to a high standard. This example has been very well cared for and the tiller and washboards are shining. You can see your reflection in the polished blue hull and she has just been freshly anti fouled.

This built to last, safe, capable offshore cruiser is immaculately clean, tidy & in very good order. Well worth considering.
