The Vancouver 34 is a "Modern" classic and despite her long

keel and heavy displacement is easy to manoeuver under sail or power. "BERTA" was purpose built

for her current owner and had many items added, over and above the standard Vancouver

specification, by Northshore Shipyard at the time she was being built. She has been treated very kindly since

new and has been extremely well maintained by the owner. We would highly recommend viewing

this classic yacht to appreciate her quality.

MANUFACTURER PROVIDED DESCRIPTION

The Vancouver 34 is every inch an offshore cruiser. The interior accommodation is designed for use at sea, for long periods if required, has good sea berths but still has a comfortably furnished saloon for relaxation when in harbour. The galley is compact and safe to use at sea and there is a large oilskin locker conveniently adjacent to the companionway. The huge chart table has plenty of space for the installation of any amount of instrumentation and there are purpose made stowages for pilot books and charts.
