Description

“Ocean Dreamer” is a “Vancouver 28” (V28) - a 28ft, long-keel sailing cruiser built in 1986 by Northshore, UK .
“Vancouver 28” yachts were very solidly built and rank among the best smaller cruising sailboats.

I have owned this lovely boat since 2007.

She is rigged as a cutter with furling foresail, staysail & mainsail.

The boat is efficiently laid out with 3 Berths (two settee berths, 1 quarter-berth),
