I’ve been seriously thinking about a new build in the 150’ range, but I saw this boat waiting to berth at Bahia Mar. It must be one of the best looking boats I’ve seen and reminds me of our Westship, but on a smaller scale. It might be the perfect boat for me to single hand, or maybe handle with the wife. Does anyone know what this boat is?

It's an 87' Northcoast. I recently saw this boat in Lauderdale too. She's a beauty. Northcoast has built some truly outstanding larger yachts. A few of them have been discussed on YachtForums. Paladin is one of them (the mother ship to Paladin's Shadow).

Can't tell you much about pricing, maybe a YachtWorld search will reveal some numbers. The boats are built by Steven Yadvish in Tacoma, Washington. I've contacted them several times for info, specs and images, but never received anything. I get the impression he's a pretty hands-on builder... and thus pretty busy!

(If you get a hold of him, tell him he's MIA on YF! )

Thanks Carl. I'll try to get some info.

Here's a couple of links to some previous Northcoast builds...

Paladin was docked next to her Shadow at the Miami Show. I spoke briefly with one of the crew members. He had nothing but praise for the boat.

Let me know what you find out. As a buyer, you might have better luck getting info than me.

Glad to say NorthCoast has joined YF. Click on their banners for a look at their latest...

That's actually an 84' version of the line that started as an 82' series and has evolved into the current 87's. Launched in 1999 or 2000.

Hi LanaLane. This is Carl's brother and yes the NorthCoast is a very nice looking boat. I have toured their factory and they have a good work ethic and appeared to have good workmanship.

Hi,

Oh no there is more than one of them.......... Is it contagious....... is there a Federal Statute preventing the manufacture of more of these things......

Ahhh.... "Good Deal"..... you may want to look at the dates on the posts before you respond..... LanaLane posted those back on 2/24/06.

Nothing better than resurrecting a dead thread though....

Who knows though.... did Carl put you up to bring this thread back to life? Well.... at least putting it on temporary life support.
