"Free Spirit of Itchenor" is a Vancouver 32 and was built by Northshore in Itchenor (near Chichester, England) in 1989. Vancouvers are designed for long-distance passage making and in her sixteen years she has certainly seen more places than us. She has ventured to Australia with one previous owner and most recently spent four years cruising to Argentina and back.

Vancouvers are still made by Northshore, however the 32 has been modified slightly and is now sold as a 34.
