The Designers
Robert B Harris
Synonymous with the VANCOUVER range of yachts Robert B Harris is a Canadian naval architect based in Vancouver BC. He is now retired but in 1972 he produced the design for the Vancouver 27 having been commissioned to design a yacht for a couple to sail from Seattle to New Zealand. He is well know for his multihull designs but the Vancouver design brought his name to much acclaim in the yachting fraternity. MORE
The success of the Vancouver range of yachts is legendary and the design is respected the world over with yachts ranging from 25 feet to 50 plus feet all from the board of Robert B Harris.
The legend started with the Vancouver 27 built by Pheon Yachts Ltd in Newhaven.
Andrew Dandridge
Son of John Dandridge, the founder of Pheon Yachts Ltd, Andrew Dandridge was design and production director of the company. He qualified as a designer 1976 joining Pheon Yachts straight from college.
Working alongside his father he developed and refined the design and build of both the Vancouver 27 and 32 into the yachts they are today. Andrew was also the designer of the Vancouver 32 Pilot variation. These yacht designs are now built by Northshore at Itchenor being the Vancouver 28 and 34. The Vancouver 28 was first built at Pheon Yachts Ltd and is still being built today to the same design developed by Andrew Dandridge. The Vancouver 34 is the extended Vancouver 32 but it has changed only a little from the initial design also developed by Andrew Dandridge. MORE
From this pedigree comes STRIDER 32
