Vancouver 274

The Vancouver 274 is a development of the
Canadian designer Robert Harris's original Vancouver 27 -
first built as a one-off cruiser which was then sailed from
British Columbia to New Zealand and back. Later a second boat
was built, and moulds were taken from this for series production,
both in Canada and England.
To date over 250 Vancouver 27 have been built, and many have made long-distance
passages.
The hull and deck are hand laid up GRP. The lead ballast
is encapsulated entirely within the hull moulding. The deck
moulding has a balsa core which is replaced with plywood in
high stress areas where fittings are attached. The interior
fit-out is to a very high standard of joinery, with lots of
solid teak.
In Zazen we also have full Thai teak deck
