[1][2][3] This boat design is often confused with the later and unrelated Tony Taylore-designed Vancouver 36 sailboat, which was built in the United Kingdom by Northshore Yachts, starting in 1989.
Hidden Harbor Boatworks, also in Sarasota, then produced the design until they too went out of business a few years later, in the late 1980s, ending production.
[6] The Vancouver 36 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with minimal teak wood trim above decks.
It has a cutter rig with aluminum spars, a raked stem, a canoe transom, a keel-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed modified long keel, with a cutaway foot.
[1] The boat is fitted with a Swedish Volvo MD 17 C diesel engine of 35 hp (26 kW) for docking and maneuvering.
The galley is to starboard aft, at the foot of the companionway way steps, and includes a three-burner stove and a 12 cu ft (0.34 m3) icebox.
[3] In a review Richard Sherwood wrote, "Robert Harris also designed the Vancouver 27, 32, and 42, but the first two are produced in England and the latter in Taiwan.
Most notable in look is her stepped cabin trunk similar to the pilothouse deck mold of her 42-foot sistership and perforated aluminum toe rail.
