Seller's Description
Hull type: full keel, cutaway forefoot w/ aft hung rudder LOA: 29 ft. LWL: 21.67 ft. Beam: 8.5 ft. Draft: 4 ft. Displacement: 7,380 lb. Ballast: 2600 lb. fully encapsulated lead Designer: Robert Harris 1 of 28 built (hull #7)
Robert Harris designed Vancouver 25 Sailboat, bluewater pocket cruiser. Full keel with cutaway forefoot, practically new sails, repowered with a Beta Marine raw water cooled diesel and a Fleming self steering wind vane, ready to sail.
Tons of spare parts , Beta cruising spares , tools , PFDs, supplies etc. Her bottom paint is old , but her bottom has been regularly cleaned and her zincs just replaced.
Proven cruiser, her original owner bought her in California and sailed her to New Zealand, the second owner repowered her, new standing rigging, bought all new sails.
Planned to cruise with her, but due to previous medical issue and a new career I have to let her go.
She can sail away TODAY , but she could still use a few things:
Her wiring needs some attention , and her running lights wiring needs to be reconnected. Ive let her exterior teak go just about bare and figured I would let the new owner decide what THEY would like.
She is in a transferable slip in Alameda , California. Slip fees are approximately $298. Per month.
Feel free to ask any and all questions or to set up a time to come see her.
Surveys welcome.
Let me know if you would like more photos, or to see something in particular.
Asking price: $15500. Willing to reduce price further if boat sells before early December (have to leave for a job)

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.
