Accommodation :
The Vancouver 38 Pilot has a classic, robust bluewater cruiser designed for long-distance comfort and safety. Like others in the Vancouver line (notably from Pheon Yachts and later Northshore Yachts in the UK), it features a traditional cutter?rigged layout paired with the raised pilot?house configuration that distinguishes the model.
Saloon: Entering from the cockpit, you step down into a spacious pilot house with excellent visibility through large, toughened-glass windows. To starboard sits an inside steering station with full engine controls, navigation instruments, and a comfortable helm seat. To port, there’s a U-shaped settee or watch berth, which can double as a sea berth on passage. The raised sole offers dry, protected access to all living spaces below without compromising headroom, which is approx 6ft 4 inches.
Finished in rich teak joinery, it has a U?shaped settee to port that surrounds a large, folding-leaf table with pink colour upholstery. Ample storage lockers and bookshelves line the hull sides. Multiple opening ports and ventilators maintain airflow at anchor or underway.
Galley: A couple of steps lead you to the galley, which is located to starboard and is designed for use in heavy weather. It includes a gimballed 2-burner gas stove with oven, top?loading 12v refrigerator, new in 2023 with a freezer box, deep double stainless sinks, and plentiful counter and locker space—all arranged for secure bracing on either tack. The galley also has a microwave that is located in the saloon area. It has pressurised hot and cold water that is heated by the engine via a calorifier tank and a 240v immersion heater.
Navigation Station; Opposite the saloon table (to starboard) lies a dedicated navigation area with a full?size chart table, electronics panel, and additional storage. Being adjacent to the pilot house makes it convenient for communication between inside and outside helm positions.
Forward Cabin; The forecabin has a comfortable V?berth with an infill to create a double berth. Hanging lockers and drawers provide storage for extended cruising gear. A deck hatch above ensures light and ventilation.
Head and Shower A spacious head compartment sits just aft of the forward cabin ( to starboard), fitted with a marine toilet, washbasin, and shower facility, with easy?clean surfaces and good drainage all with hot and cold water.

Midship Cabin: The midship cabin hosts a large double berth, hanging lockers, and drawers that provide storage for extended cruising gear. A deck hatch above ensures light and ventilation.

Aft Cabin / Quarter Berth: The aft port quarter hosts a large single or small double berth, partly beneath the cockpit sole—ideal for off?watch crew or guests. Access is comfortable from the pilot house level. It has its own head compartment fitted with a marine toilet, washbasin, and shower facility, with easy?clean surfaces and good drainage all with hot and cold water. This head also has a 60Litre holding tank.
General Comfort and Finish: Throughout, the finish reflects Northshore’s high craftsmanship—teak interiors, solid fittings, and a layout optimised for both liveaboard life and offshore security. With full standing headroom and excellent insulation from the pilot house, it is a genuinely all-weather vessel, suited for extended voyaging in northern or southern latitudes.

Keel:

Fin keel with wheel steering

History and Construction: The hull and deck are generously laid-up by hand using bi-directional mat with Isophthalic resin (better resistance against osmosis) and substantially reinforced all around her long, encapsulated fin keel.
This design helps keep ropes and debris away from the prop, while a cutaway forward helps speed up tacking and improve manoeuvrability under power. The topsides and deck of the Vancouver 38 Pilothouse are sandwiched with end-grain balsa for insulation and weight reduction, and the hull deck join is both through-bolted and bonded over for watertight integrity. It has a Teak Deck. The yacht has been cruised extensively in Western Europe and the Canary Islands, which is why she has been well-maintained and updated over the years.
This yacht has been owned by the current owner for the past 20 years. It has had only one previous owner. The current owner is only selling as he is relocating to France and retiring from sailing. The vessel w will be coming ashore in April 2026 for its annual maintenance and an insurance survey. She was last out of the water in 2025 when she was antifouled, hull polished, and anodes changed. There are lots of spares and manuals included with the sale.
