Description
A popular choice for the offshore cruising yachtsman the Vancouver 34 Classic has proven to be a reliable cruising yacht wither cruising around the coast or crossing oceans. The long keel and cutter rig providing a balanced boat which is easy on her helmsman and crew in the most arduous of conditions. In the current ownership, the Vancouver 34 Classic CINNABAR has safely carried her owners around the length and breadth of the British Isles and enjoyed a 2-year trip to Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea. Sailing with a crew of just two the Vancouver 34 has proven to be a safe and robust cruiser, easily handled by a small crew. Now reluctantly for sale as her owners make the hard decision to ‘swallow the anchor’ after a lifetime of boat ownership her extensive inventory highlights include: Original white gelcoat finish to hull and deck moulding Yanmar 3GM30F marine diesel engine Rope cutter Hydrovane self-steering system (2004) 3 x semi-flexible deck mounted solar panels with charge regulator Sterling Power Products Power Management display Raymarine AV-1 autopilot installed new in 2025 Raymarine eS75 hybrid touch chart plotter display in cockpit (2019) Raymarine A65 chart plotter at chart table Raymarine i50 navigation instruments (2019) Raymarine i70 multifunction repeater display at chart table (2019) Cobra Marine DSC VHF with GPS Icom IC-M31 handheld VHF Taylors 079DS diesel fired stove Masthead cutter rig with roller reefing systems for genoa and forestay Walder boom brake Sprayhood and cockpit tent fitted new for the 2022 season Ocean Safety, 4 person, ORC Cannister raft, next service due spring 2026 Tinker Tramp inflatable dinghy Lying afloat on her berth in Ardfern Yacht Centre the Vancouver 34 Classic CINNABAR is available for immediate viewing by appointment. BUILDERS COMMENT: ‘The Vancouver 34 is every inch and offshore cruiser. Under sail she has a light helm and is perfectly balanced in any wind strength making it easy work for the helmsman or self steering gear. The standard rig is strong (some say over specified) and supports the cutter rig. The Vancouver 34 is surprisingly fast under sail and high average speeds are possible which can be maintained for long periods: the ideal passagemaker. The Vancouver 34 is a modern ‘classic’ and despite her long keel and heavy displacement is easy to manouever under sail or power. She is first choice for serious cruising. Comfortably wide decks and substantial guard rails provide safety and security at sea. There is no doubt she is the perfect boat for heading off over the horizon’ CONSTRUCTION Hull Construction: Single piece GRP moulded hull Laminated using the Northshore Yachts proprietory Nordseal system Chopped strand and woven glass reinforcing cloths, hand consolidated Sandwich laminate construction with balsa core above the waterline Solid GRP laminate through keel pan area with additional layers of reinforcement around keel Moulded beam shelf to receive deck incorporated into hull moulding Encapsualted full length lead ballast keel Topsides finished in original white gelcoat Underwater hull coated with red antifouling Deck & Superstructure Construction: Integrated deck, superstructure and self-draining cockpit moulding Single piece GRP moulding.
