Keel:

Long keel with wheel steering

History and Construction: The hull and deck are generously laid-up by hand using bi-directional mat with Isophthalic resin (better resistance against osmosis) and substantially reinforced all around her long, encapsulated keel, the foot of which extends aft to provide support for the lower rudder pintle.
This design helps keep ropes and debris away from the prop, while a cutaway forward helps speed up tacking and improve manoeuvrability under power. The topsides and deck of the Vancouver 34 Classic are sandwiched with end-grain balsa for insulation and weight reduction, and the hull deck join is both through-bolted and bonded over for watertight integrity. Deck has beige Treadmaster that was professionally replaced in 2013, by Foxes Boatyard. The yacht has been cruised extensively in Western Europe and the Canary Islands which is why she has been well maintained and updated over the years.
This yacht has been owned by the current owner for the past 12 years. It has had only two previous owners. The current owner is only selling as it’s time to retire from sailing. The vessel was last ashore for its annual maintenance in May 2023 when she was antifouled, hull polished and anodes changed.
