Manufacturer Provided Description

The Vancouver 28 is a direct descendant from the original Vancouver 27, the design that started the Vancouver legend. Vancouver 28 is beautifully balanced; so much so that she will sail herself, making the passage making untiring and easy on the crew. Even when her large stowage area is full to capacity she carries the load without impeding her sailing performance. The Vancouver 28 effortlessly maintains a high average speed, enabling owners to plan on covering 100 nautical miles in a day. This yacht (like all Vancouvers) offers a flexible sail plan with her strong, versatile cutter rig. Everything about this yacht should recommend itself to a sailing couple:- Comfortable, good sized sea berths, a wet locker adjacent to the companionway, large chart table, good ventilation, easy access to all parts for maintenance, and all that generous storage space.
