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 regularly changed.

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 , and then lost interest which is when I bought her.

I’ve spent the last few months getting her rerigged , cleaned up and sail ready.

She can sail away TODAY , but she could still use a few things:

Her wiring could use some attention , and her running lights wiring needs to be reconnected.
I’ve let her Teak go just about bare. I like the look of silver Teak , 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 tine to come see her.

Surveys welcome.

Let me know if you would like more photos , or to see something in particular.

The Vancouver 25 is a trailerable boat. If the buyer is interested , I know where a custom built trailer for this boat is available. The trailer is available in a separate sale.

Asking price: $18000.
