Your introduction to Vela
Vela is a beautifully restored Ranger 33, Gary Mull’s classic racer cruiser sailboat design. Over the past 20 years, I’ve extensively restored Vela, as well as sailed over 12,000 miles of coastal BC. As is evident in the specifications, all systems on this vessel have been updated to modern standards with no detail ignored. Vela is rigged for single-handed sailing from the cockpit and is an extremely well-equipped and rugged coastal sailor, enabling comfortable travel in a wide range of wind and sea conditions. Her meticulous care and maintenance have resulted in a very reliable boat with no deferred maintenance. Vela is excellent value for a ready-to-go, do-everything-sailboat, helping you unlock the magic of our BC coast!
About the owner
I'm a retired marine biologist and have enjoyed nearly 50 years exploring the BC coast, both for scientific research as well as recreation. I've owned Vela for 20 years and have many memorable experiences tinkering on the boat and extended cruising trips exploring the incredible beauty of coastal BC.
Me, Howard, with my favourite second mate, Foster.
