The Vancouver 27 Sailboat Specs & Key Performance Indicators

The Vancouver 27, a small but sturdy sailboat designed for ocean cruising, was created by Canadian designer Robert Harris in 1972 and has been built by various manufacturers in Canada, the USA and the UK.

The Vancouver 27 is a cutter-rigged boat with a full keel, a transom-hung rudder and a high freeboard. It has a spacious interior with plenty of headroom and storage space, and can accommodate up to four people. The Vancouver 27 is known for its stability, ease of handling and seaworthiness, and has been sailed around the world by many adventurous sailors.

Published Specification for the Vancouver 27

Hull Type:  Long keel with transom-hung rudder

Draft:  4' 4" / 1.3m

Rig Type:  Cutter

Displacement:  8,960lb / 4,064kg

Published Design Ratios for the Vancouver 27

1. Sail Area/Displacement Ratio: 14.2

3. Displacement/Length Ratio: 332

4. Comfort Ratio: 33.2

5. Capsize Screening Formula:   1.7

Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Vancouver 27

1. A Sail Area/Displacement Ratio of just 14.2 suggests that she'll need a stiff breeze to get her going. In light conditions, unless you've got plenty of time on your hands, motor-sailing may be the way to go.

2. A Ballast/Displacement Ratio of 38.7 means that unless the bulk of the ballast is concentrated in a bulb at the foot of her keel, she'll have a tendency to heel excessively in a gust, and she'll need to be reefed early to keep her sailing upright in a moderate breeze. 

3. A Displacement/Length Ratio of 332, tells us she's clearly a heavy displacement cruising boat. You can load her down with all your cruising gear and equipment and it will hardly affect her waterline. Not an ideal choice for coastal sailing, but she'll come into her own on an offshore passage in testing conditions.

4. Ted Brewer's Comfort Ratio of 33.2 suggests that crew comfort in a seaway is similar to what you would associate with the motion of a moderate bluewater cruising boat - a predictable and acceptable motion for most seasoned sailors.

5. Her Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) of 1.7 tells us that she would be a safer choice of sailboat for an ocean passage than one with a CSF of more than 2.0.

Any Questions?

Is the Vancouver 27 still in production and, if not, when did production end and how many of these sailboats were built?

The Vancouver 27 is no longer in production. The last boat was built by Northshore Yachts in the UK in 2011. The total number of boats built is estimated to be around 250, including the extended version called the Vancouver 28.

What is the history of the builders of the Vancouver 27 and is the company still in business?

The first two boats were built by Tradewind Yachts in Canada, and then molds were made from the second boat. The molds were used by Seair Marine Ltd and Philbrook's Boatyard in British Columbia, Canada, until they were destroyed by a storm in 1988. In the UK, the molds were acquired by Pheon Yachts Ltd, which later became Northshore Yachts. Northshore Yachts continued to build the Vancouver 27 and 28 until 2011, when they ceased trading. The company was acquired by Discovery Yachts Group in 2017.

What is the Vancouver 27 like to sail?

The Vancouver 27 is not a fast or agile boat, but it is easy to sail and handle in all conditions. It can sail close to the wind, but not as well as some modern designs. It performs best on a reach or a run, where it can maintain a steady speed of around 6 knots. The boat is well-balanced and has a light helm, which makes it ideal for single-handed or short-handed sailing. The boat can cope with heavy weather and rough seas, and has a good reputation for seaworthiness.

What is the average cost of a secondhand Vancouver 27?

The price of a used Vancouver 27 depends on its condition, age, equipment and location. A typical range is between £15,000 and £35,000 (or $20,000 to $47,000) as of 2023.

What other sailboats have been created by the designer of the Vancouver 27?

Robert Harris was a prolific designer who created many other sailboats besides the Vancouver 27. Some of his most notable designs include the Tahiti Ketch, the Harris Offshore 38, the Harris Cuttyhunk 41, the Harris Pilot House Cutter, the Harris Gulfstream Cutter and the Harris Explorer Motor Sailer Series.

Broker's Comments

Boatshed Cornwall are pleased to list this highly desirable Vancouver 28. A blue-water sailing yacht with good characteristics. The newer 28, developed from the Vancouver 27, is fractionally longer in the stern and with a slightly raised sheer, providing a little more volume below decks and designed for short handed cruising.

First impressions on arriving at the pontoon berth revealed a tidy yacht, rigged and ready. Once onboard the presentation was of a very good standard which made it difficult to relate to the date of manufacture, another testament to the build quality and the care taken by subsequent owners.

Recent upgrades include Engine service (2024) Renewed Headsail UV strip (2024) Renewed 2 x House batteries (2024) Renewed Standing Rigging (2023) Outer Bottom antifouling (2023) Harken Mk4 Ocean roller reefing system on forestay for Genoa/Yankee (2023) Renewed internal & masthead LED lights (2023)

This is a well presented Vancouver 28 and it appears to have been well maintained by the current owners. Currently back on a swinging mooring where it will remain until sold. This mooring is transferreable and includes all amenities, car parking and water taxi.

It is highly recommended a viewing is arranged to appreciate this yacht.

I'm 6'2" and am looking for this type of , just wondering if people who have sailed both could share pros and cons or suggest other of this type for similar . let the fun begin! 16-10-2018, 10:23   Boat: Westsail 28 maker would have a longer waterline but that is not to say these two boats would not get you to where ever it is you want to go . Where are you ? And where do you want to go ? The looks pretty good , I like the fact that it has a transom hung and a flat transom that will facilitate a vane . The cutaway forefoot looks good . It seems a lot of them came with decks so I would be careful of that . wise the CD is a more attainable for sure and pretty much the same , kinda . 16-10-2018, 12:08   Boat: Retired from CF is high up on my list. Vancouvers fetch high prices, must be a reason? but you see the 27 discussed lots more than 28. 16-10-2018, 13:01   Boat: 1980 Endeavour 32 28, and I can't say enough good things about her. She is built very strong, and from what I have read about her she was designed for sailing. I certainly plan on it ! Lol. There are documented circumnavigations by this model. A small, high , a small with integral spray-hood, oversize , ....the list goes on. The 1980 and later models have the bridgedeck that raises the threshold of the , which is better. You can watch a couple of videos on my YouTube channel to get a better idea of what she is like. There is also another set of 4 videos on YouTube of a couple that has a CD28 and they walk through practically the whole boat. 16-10-2018, 13:17   4.33 ft : 9,300 lb Ballast: 3,650 lb Van 27 LWL: 22.92 ft Beam: 8.67 ft (max): 4.33 ft : 8,960 lb Ballast: 3,500 lb - Elmore Leonard 17-10-2018, 09:17   Boat: Vancouver 28 28. Production of the 28s started in 1986, replacing the 27s. There were 67 built, the last in 2005. Very solidly built but they don't come up very often - there are more 27s around. The 27 was designed for a couple to sail from Vancouver to , so definitely ocean going and in my experience great little cruisers. I don't think at 6'2 you'll have standing all the way through - galley/chart table ok but and heads maybe not. Don't know the Cape Dory so can't offer a comparison.

Search forums Practical Boat Owner's Reader to Reader Vancouver 28....what's not to like? Thread starter chockswahay Start date 2 Jul 2012 chockswahay My boat buying dilemma continues... Nearly bought a Francis 26........nearly bought a sloop rigged Fisher 25.......nearly bought a Ketch rigged Fisher 25..... all in the last four months (including one full survey and one flight to Ireland). Now then, the fact is that my heart (and Mrs Chox's heart) still says Vancouver 28. My wife wants comfort, stability, ease of single handing. I want headroom (I'm 6' 2"), long berths and would like a little more speed and pointing ability. We do not need or want anything bigger and the V28 ticks most boxes. Could any V28/V28 owners out there offer any comment or advice please? Many thanks Chox   Well-known member Not a V28 owner but have experience of both the Fisher and Vancouver .... I used to sell them in the 1990s. I have a soft spot for the F25 sloop, but not sure if you could find a comfortable berth being tall. V28 3 berth layout should just about fit though. Both easily singlehanded as track well. As you state the Vancouver will sail better but std sails are triple stitched heavy duty type and a lightweight headsail or mps would assist when apparent winds drop below 12/13 knots.   chockswahay said: My wife wants comfort, stability, ease of single handing.

Click to expand... ^ V28 also has an inch extra inch or two in the top sides, apparently because the V27 could ship some water down the side decks in gales. Gives slightly more head room as a result .   Colvic Watson Just to add to the mix, for a fair bit less there is the Colvic Watson 28, she's long keeled; not as tender as the Vancouver; about twice the internal volume; interior and exterior steering; a good sailer and a much, much better sailer than the Fisher 25; but if I'm honest, not as good looking as the Vancouver which I think is a particularly fine looking yacht.   chockswahay said: Thanks for the replies so far V27/28 owners...............how long are the berths please? Click to expand... Babylon said: ...The V28s have a more modern arrangement forward (the 'classic' 3-berth option) with the heads on one side, to sbd I think(?)... Click to expand... FIn keelers aren't that bad Sorry to take this off track, but I've just got to respond to the earlier comment about putting up with hand steering and broaching on fin keelers. Mine sailed for 10 hours dead straight across Lyme Bay with the helm locked off. They can go 2-3 knots faster than a long keeler, but if you throttle them back to equivalent speed, they won't broach. They point higher, have far more internal volume and are significantly faster - an important comfort factor if you ask me (get you home before you're tired). They're far easier to wiggle around in marinas. Long keelers are tough and docile, but have lots of disadvantages too. What's not to like? Slow, cramped, awkward in tight corners, expensive. They're a very specialist boat for a specialist sort of sailing, but if that's your thing...   RobbieW said: My previous boat was a '94 V28. It was the classic/standard 3 berth design - heads on the centre line... Click to expand... RobbieW said: Live and learn - just checked the Northshore website who refer to the forward V berth design as the 'standard' which does have an offset heads. So, to the OP, try and see examples of both layouts; it looks to me that in the V berth layout some storage and usability is sacrificed. Click to expand... The 3 berth is the one I fancy, for just the 2 of us it looks very practical   KINGFISHER 8 chinita said: May I just call a halt to all this 'V' stuff. 'V' is for Vertue, not Vancouver Click to expand... Hi Grahame I've had several Fishers, a Francis 26 and now a Vancouver 27 and can easily say that the Vancouver is the best all rounder. The Fisher is nice but can roll horribly and not really a "sailing" boat, the Francis sailed nicely and was very similar in characteristics to the Vancouver but the Vancouver is better built and has better accommodation whilst being less tender. Mine is the 3 berth layout which is great as it gives you the storage to keep a lot of stuff out of the saloon keeping that clear as well as giving a heads you can be "comfortable" in! Berths are all I believe easily > 6', particularly the quarter berth and I would echo much of what Babylon has said.
