Remarks :
'Fancy Vancouver' is a great example of the Vancouver 28 which has a well-deserved reputation as the classic offshore cruiser She is in good condition having been very well maintained by her single owner. He had her commissioned by Northshore and went on to complete the ARC and spent many years cruising in the Mediterranean. For the last few years, he has been cruising the Channel regularly, mostly single-handed.
