Vancouver 27
Description
The Vancouver 27, designed by Robert Harris for rugged high-latitude and bluewater cruising, was built primarily by Northshore Yachts (UK) from 1973-1982 (~70 fiberglass hulls), with a few additional kits and one-offs in wood/epoxy or steel by owners worldwide; construction featured heavy solid FG layup (up to 1" thick hull), full encapsulated keel with internal iron ballast, transom-hung rudder, masthead sloop or cutter rig, and a double-ended hull prioritizing seaworthiness over speed (D/L 400+, SA/D ~14).

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
