Hello everyone
ive been looking at a Vancouver27.
i know they are dated and can be a bit sluggish but I am after a seaworthy boat that is safe and comfortable. I would appreciate any thoughts

There were 2 version of the Vancouver 27. The ones built in Canada and later built in the UK. There was an extended one built called the Vancouver 28.

The only issue that I have read about is the skeg being a bit flimsy and that its prone to cracking. Years ago I looked at a Canadian one in New Zealand for my son. The owner withdrew it from the market. I also looked at a Contessa 32 however it was a early version with osmosis problems. I had a contact in shipping who could put it on a ship for a very cheap rate thats why I looked at it.

It is very small inside however the layout and storage is very well planned on such a tiny yacht.
