The Vaan R5 is the perfect size for extended blue water sailing or a family live-aboard. Like the R4, the R5 sailing catamaran is made of sustainable and circular materials such as recycled aluminium, FSC certified cork decking and recycled fabrics. And it's all-electric. ▫️ @Vaan ▫️ Forward in the owner's hull is a luxury bathroom with a spacious shower. The mirror slides sideways to open a cabinet and three large drawers and shelves give you all the storage you need. Aft is a luxurious owner's cabin. ▫️ The R5 comes in two versions: the open cockpit and the closed cockpit live-aboard version, the R5-LA. The main difference is the sliding door that is placed further aft in the LA version. This creates a spacious interior saloon that allows for unique layout options which can be tailored to your needs. ▫️ R5 SPECS - LOA: 49 ft / 14.94 m - Beam: 7.99 m - Draft: 135 cm / 210 cm (retractable centerboards optional) - Total Mast Height: 24.9 m - Propulsion: 2x electric saildrives - Bridge deck clearance 85 cm - Sail areas: - Main: 80 m2 - Jib: 45 m2 (self-tacking) - Code-0: 120 m2 (option) - Gennaker: 176 m2 (option) #aluminium #recycled #eco #sailing #catamaran #luxury
A Canadian classic, only 160 Ontario 32’s were built and and we are thrilled to have Hull #15 on our Sales Dock at our Sidney location! Stepping aboard it is apparent that “Bandit” has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by her Owners of almost exactly two decades. Complete with a full cockpit enclosure, hard dodger and a hard bimini equipped with solar panels, these spirited sailing vessels can often be found on club racing circuits as they sail beautifully. The large roomy interior is extremely well appointed with a large v-berth, enclosed head, comfortable main salon with seating around a large centreline positioned table, pilot berth, aft galley and plenty of headroom and storage. What makes “Bandit” different than her sister-ships are the new eye-catching stainless opening ports that not only bring in ventilation, they provide a ton of natural light into the cabin space. Repowered with a Beta diesel engine, Bandit comes with a Highfield RIB, Mercury outboard and assumable moorage at your choice of either North Saanich Marina or our Westport Marina in Sidney. Available to view by appointment, please contact our Vancouver Island Sales Office at 250-656-5832 to schedule a showing.
