The Vancouver 36, introduced in 1989, occupies a unique position in British maritime history. Built by Northshore Yachts in Itchenor, Chichester, this heavily constructed ocean voyager was designed by Tony Taylor (formerly of Camper & Nicholsons) rather than Robert Harris, who penned the rest of the famed Vancouver lineup. Taylor’s design won the prestigious Silk Cut Nautical Design Award for 1988/89, capturing the attention of longdistance cruising sailors who demanded a vessel that balanced absolute seaworthiness with a high standard of liveaboard comfort. While the model shares its name with an earlier, doubleended, Robert Harrisdesigned 36footer built in the United States, the Northshore Vancouver 36 features a completely different underwater profile, a traditional transom, and a modified, modern hull shape.
