Under sail she has a light helm and is perfectly balanced in any wind strength making it easy work for the helmsman or self steering gear. The standard rig is strong (some say over specified) and supports the cutter rig. The Vancouver 34 is surprisingly fast under sail and high average speeds are possible which can be maintained for long periods: the ideal passagemaker. The Vancouver 34 is a modern ‘classic’ and despite her long keel and heavy displacement is easy to manouever under sail or power. She is first choice for serious cruising. Comfortably wide decks and substantial guard rails provide safety and security at sea. There is no doubt she is the perfect boat for heading off over the horizon’ Laminated using the Northshore Yachts proprietory Nordseal system Chopped strand and woven glass reinforcing cloths, hand consolidated Sandwich laminate construction with balsa core above the waterline Solid GRP laminate through keel pan area with additional layers of reinforcement around keel Moulded beam shelf to receive deck incorporated into hull moulding Encapsualted full length lead ballast keel Topsides finished in original white gelcoat Underwater hull coated with red antifouling Deck & Superstructure Construction: In
