Broker's Comments

The beautiful Vancouver 34 Classic - designed for blue water and ocean crossings but equally comfortable pottering around the solent or across the channel. These yachts are highly sought after with only a few produced between 1991 - 2012 this one being a 2004. She has benefitted from a new engine in 2017, new Treadmaster deck 2025 and a new suite of sails 2026.

Built by renowned British boatbuilders Northshore Yachts she is a 10.44-metre long keel cutter-rigged yacht. Strong with a high-quality finish.

Her shallow draft of the long keel allows you to venture into creeks and harbours that deeper-keeled yachts cannot. The cutter rig allows ease of adjusting sail area. Below decks, the accommodation is comfortable and practical for long voyages or coastal sailing. She offers lots of clever storage in her 34ft.

She has been consistently maintained annually in her current ownership plus recent renewed coppercoat, new sails the list goes on...

Owners comment:
‘She is a powerful yacht, but not very close-winded. Her long keel and large rudder keep her on course and she has a steady motion through rough seas. Single-line reefing and her cutter rig make her easy to sail singlehanded.’

Mainly cruising around the UK, with numerous cross-Channel trips to France, but longer trips have included the Bay of Biscay, the Isles of Scilly and Ireland.
