Description

The Vancouver yachts were designed as go-anywhere pocket cruisers that were built and equipped to a high standard. The Vancouver 28 is an evolution of the original Robert Harris designed Vancouver 27. The later 28 is slightly longer in the stern with a slightly raised sheer that provides more volume below decks. She is a yacht designed and equipped for short-handed offshore cruising.
Gheat is a 3-berth version in first class condition and set up for single handed sailing. She was extensively refurbished 2019/20. The refurbishment included a new engine, new mast, boom and sails, new electrical system and navigation electronics, water system, etc. A full inventory is available.
