Vancouver 28
Description
The Vancouver 28, designed by Robert Harris as a slightly larger, more refined version of the Vancouver 27 for extreme bluewater cruising, was built by Northshore Yachts (UK) from ~1981-1990 (~25 fiberglass hulls), with additional owner-built kits in wood/epoxy or steel; construction emphasized heavy solid GRP hull (no core), full encapsulated keel with iron ballast, transom-hung rudder, masthead sloop/cutter rig, and a double-ender hull with canoe stern for unmatched seaworthiness (D/L ~370, SA/D ~14).

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.
