Broker's Comments

If you're after a cracking blue water vessel to sail on your own or with friends, one that's not too big but that you can trust to keep you safe in all sorts of weather, then come and take a look at this Vancouver 32. Strong, well equipped, very capable and easy on her crew, this is a true blue water cruiser.

This vessel has already proven itself as exceptionally capable in all sorts of conditions. Her history includes 6 months cruising the Mediterranean, followed by sailing the North Sea between Holland and the UK. One voyage took her to Greenland for a two month sailing & mountaineering adventure. Her previous owner proved how good she is for single handed sailing, he apparently cracked the West Coast of Scotland, East Coast of Ireland, Hebrides, Orkneys, Shetland and a Transatlantic circuit.

Step on board the teak deck and you'll see how well equipped she is. There is a great sail wardrobe and the standing rigging was replaced in 2009. Down below, there is a homely yet practical layout, with cabin heating, hot water, full nav table, good upholstery and a polished teak finish.

Built for adventure and safety, if long distance cruising is your goal, then look no further.
