Notes: A Northshore development of the V32 providing a larger cockpit, wheel steering and an inboard rudder. The earlier V34Cs dragged their sterns until the move from iron to lead ballast as standard enabled the ballast to be positioned further forward, thus better balancing the additional weight at the stern (i.e. caused by the 2 ft extension).\nFrom A History of Vancouver Yachts, 16 March 2011, by Nick Hiscock.\n\nSail area:\n-Main: 221 ft² / 20.53 m²\n-Jib: 240 ft² / 22.3 m²\n-Staysail: 139 ft² / 12.9 m²\n-Genoa (optional): 435 ft² / 40.41 m²\nAlso available with a Pilot House deck configuration.
