Vancouver 28....what's not to like?

[Fr J Hackett]

Having read through these postings I'm surprised you weren't put off buying one! Let's hope yours hasn't got the problems listed. Even if it has you're probably still all starry-eyed about it !!! How do they compare to Rustlers I wonder? I used to fancy both Vancouver 28 and 32 (?) and anything by Rustler. Bought neither but did own some lovely, and some not so lovely, sailing boats along the way - all except one long keelers!

What you have to take into consideration is that the boats were like as not built between 50 and 30 years ago and share all the problems that other builders and yachts of the time experienced. It was the start of the boom in sailing, How many times did Westerly go under? Where is Sadler now?

Well it has taken 7 years! We finally take delivery of our new (to us) V28 next week

Thank you every one for your input (in all forms)

Cheers

Congratulations - We loved our V274 - First boat we owned, and fondly remembered.

There are pictures of the berths here if you measure the length then you can then measure the berth size. https://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/vancouver-32/vancouver-32.htm
