The Vancouver 25 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat that was designed by Robert B. Harris as a blue water cruiser and first built in 1983.
It has a masthead sloop rig, a raked stem with a bowsprit, a rounded transom, with a boomkin, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed long keel.
Best features: Full cruising amenities are unusual in a boat this size: boom gallows, stern anchor roller chock on the boomkin, long companionway dodger, stand-up shower, large water and fuel tanks, big chart table, good ventilation, lots of storage space.
Standard equipment is extensive and generally of high quality (e.g, two stainless steel water tanks, dorade vents, etc.).
The 15 hp Yanmar is said to move the boat at only five knots, possibly indicating either insufficient horsepower or the wrong prop selection.
