The Vancouver 28 is a very strongly built blue water cruising yacht. Fitted out to a high standard by Northshore, this Robert Harris design is a superb choice for long distance blue water sailing. This truly excellent example is in fine condition and is ready to sail away. Her previous owners have spent a vast amount bringing her to almost concourse condition including 2018 sails, 2016 standing rigging, plus the engine has very few hours logged. This is the VERY LAST Vancouver 28 to have been built and in our opinion is almost as good as new - certainly the best one to have come on to our books. Do not miss this opportunity!
