Seller's Description
This is NOT a project boat. It is in great condition and is ready to go as is for your next adventure. There will always be work to do on a boat, but this one just needs regular maintenance to be continued. It. has been very well maintained and the condition shows that.
Super clean, ready to sail. Extremely well maintained Vancouver 25, designed by Robert Harris and built in famed Taiwan shipyard. Build quality is excellent. This is hull number four of the original twelve built. Long keel (encapsulated lead) with transom hung rudder, tiller stearing, boomkin, bowsprit, and boom gallows.
This boat is complete and can be trailered, launched, and sailed immediately.
Classic design, super head turner. You will get a lot of oohs, aahs, and questions from everyone you come across. People love taking photos with this boat, such a classic design.
Equipment: Sail Inventory All sails are in good working order or better as noted below. * Spinnaker, with dousing sock (snuffer) * Main, reinforced head and tack, bolt leach, two reef, SS hardware * Genoa 110, 12ft 10in foot, single reef, bronze hardware, needs an 8in seam repair (just stitching no rips in sail) * Storm, excellent condition, bronze hardware * Genoa 160, 19ft 9in foot, bronze hardware * Jib, 9ft 2in foot, bronze hardware
Full set of both interior and exterior cushions, so all surfaces you would sit/lay on are cushioned. One Vee berth cushion will need the cover replaced due to torn fabric. Interior fabric is blue cloth. Exterior fabric is white vinyl.
Full set of exterior canvas for boat. Same blue color as interior. This includes dodger, bimini, tiller, main sail, and boat cover. Dodger and bimini are both in great shape, with a few small rips that can be patched. Main sail cover should be replaced but is provided for use as a template.
Mast steps installed. Super helpful for checking sailing hardware and rigging.
4 burner gimbaled propane stove with oven and broiler. Can make just about everything, including toast and breads.
Force10 Propane heater for those cold nights or damp conditions. Keeps everything warm and dry.
Pressure water system.
Xantrex TrueCharge2 40A 3 bank global power supply. Accepts 110v, 220v, 230v between 47-63Hz. Can plug in just about anywhere in the world.
Yanmar 1GM10 6.5 hp diesel engine in great condition. You can see from the photos this engine has been very well maintained and serviced regularly.
Diesel tank has been replaced with stainless steel.

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
6.4 kn
Classic: 6.24 kn
Hull Speed
The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.
Formula
Classic hull speed formula:
Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL
A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.
Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
16.1
Sail Area / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.
Formula
SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3
- SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
- D: Displacement in pounds.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
35.2
<40: less stiff, less powerful
Ballast / Displacement Ratio
A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.
Formula
Ballast / Displacement * 100
- Displacement/Length
-
323.1
300-400: heavy
Displacement / Length Ratio
A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.
Formula
D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- Comfort Ratio
-
27.4
20-30: coastal cruiser
Comfort Ratio
This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.
Formula
Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
- LWL: Waterline length in feet
- LOA: Length overall in feet
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- Capsize Screening
-
1.8
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages
Capsize Screening Formula
This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.
Formula
CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
- Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
- D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
Notes
LOA: 25.0’ without bowsprit and boomkin.
