Inside: North | Is THIS the PERFECT Great Loop/PNW Custom Trawler? | 2000 mi Range

Today we’re touring NORTH, a 72' custom Darling Yachts aluminum expedition pilothouse trawler. Built for the Great Loop and now Cruising the Pacific Northwest . This is a serious expedition yacht: aluminum hull, big systems, true pilothouse visibility, and a level of interior finish you just don’t see every day in a long-range cruiser. If you’re into expedition-style trawlers, liveaboards, and yachts that prioritize capability over fluff, you’re in the right place. ⛵ QUICK SPECS (NORTH) • Year: 2002 • Builder: Darling Yachts (Custom) • Type: Aluminum Pilothouse Trawler / Long-Range Cruiser • Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • LOA: 71'6" (21.79 m) • Beam: 19'0" (5.79 m) • Draft (Max): 5'0" (1.52 m) • Cabins: 2 • Headroom: 7'0" (2.13 m) • Fuel: 1,470 gal (5,564.55 L) • Water: 500 gal (1,892.71 L) • Holding: 130 gal (492.1 L) • Cruise: ~10 knots • Power: Twin Cummins Diamond Series (listed at 603 hp / 450 kW each), ~2,900 hrs • Generators: (2) Westerbeke 32kW, ~3,000 hrs ▶️ LISTING & BROKER INFO (Ignition Marine) Ignition Marine Website: https://ignitionmarine.com/ NORTH Listing Page: https://ignitionmarine.com/yacht-details/?id=86882&title=72-ft-trawler-2002-custom-aluminum-vancouver-canada-yacht-for-sale&vessel=2839604 Contact the Listing Broker: Tony Lavin — Ignition Marine (Vancouver, BC) Email: tony.lavin@ignitionmarine.com Direct Line: +1 (604) 353-3404 Office/Main: +1 (236) 476-3392 ext. 3 General: info@ignitionmarine.com Toll-Free: +1 (877) 394-8669 ⛵ QUICK SPECS (NORTH) • Year: 2002 • Builder: Darling Yachts (Custom) • Type: Aluminum Pilothouse Trawler / Long-Range Cruiser • Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada • LOA: 71'6" (21.79 m) • Beam: 19'0" (5.79 m) • Draft (Max): 5'0" (1.52 m) • Cabins: 2 • Headroom: 7'0" (2.13 m) • Fuel: 1,470 gal (5,564.55 L) • Water: 500 gal (1,892.71 L) • Holding: 130 gal (492.1 L) • Cruise: ~10 knots • Power: Twin Cummins Diamond Series (listed at 603 hp / 450 kW each), ~2,900 hrs • Generators: (2) Westerbeke 32kW, ~3,000 hrs ⭐ HIGHLIGHTS (why NORTH is different) • Hydraulic bow + stern thrusters + dual Glendinning controls • Serious engine room setup with redundant filtration, Algae-X fuel conditioning, and pro oil-exchange system • Full-beam pilothouse with a full electronics suite (Furuno radar, FLIR thermal, Garmin GPS, SSB, Nobeltec) • Highfield 16' aluminum RIB w/ 90hp Yamaha + custom transom davit • Webasto + Flagship Marine heating • Sub-Zero full-size fridge + separate freezer • Fin stabilizer, foam insulation + soundproofing • Significant recent work: over $300,000 CAD invested since survey, plus extensive hull restoration labor hours 📌 ABOUT YACHTLENS YachtLens is all about distinctive yachts explored frame by frame: honest walkthroughs, real layouts, and the details buyers (and dreamers) actually care about. ✅ If you enjoyed this tour: 1) Subscribe to YachtLens: https://www.youtube.com/@YachtLens?sub_confirmation=1 2) Drop a comment: Would you take NORTH to Alaska, the Inside Passage, or point her south for Baja?
