    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:

    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Greetings,
Mr. Y. Beautiful vessel but may I ask why, pray tell, after all the work you've done, are you selling her?

Love the boat. Personal reasons require me to change priorities. I was hoping to enjoy time on it this summer but anyone who wants to buy her will want to enjoy this summer on it too.
 
Very pretty, looks great. I love small trawlers.
 
50hp?
Must be a misprint.
SD 22 ..... CN-4
22hp sounds about right.
CN-4 .. Suspect 4cyl but most 22hp diesels are 3 cylinders.

But I love the boat and most other small trawlers. Had an Albin 25 before my Willard and would kind of like to go back to a 25-26' boat. But the nice big boat motion of our W30 would be hard to leave.

Yar,
Anyone know anything about these boats?

Greetings,
Mr. NW. If you go to the link Mr. Y provided you will see that the engine is 4 cylinder.

CN-4 .. Suspect 4cyl but most 22hp diesels are 3 cylinders.

Please fact check before posting a dispute. SD22 is a 2.2L 4 cylinder engine. 68hp in industrial applications and 50(48) horsepower in marine. Thanks.

I've worked in Willards. I like em.

Way back in the day when we were looking at small trawlers we checked out a Yar, hull #1 as I recall. Beautiful, very salty and rock solid. For reasons more related to the seller than the boat we opted out and purchased an Albin 25.

But I really did like the Yar. This one would be an excellent candidate I think for anyone looking in that size range; very nicely redone - the cockpit hardtop especially.
 
Yar,
OK I shouldn't have mentioned it.
What does SD-22 stand for?
No dispute .. just wondered what reality was.
Sounds very overpowered but these are pleasure boats and many people like them that way.
Who marineized the Nissan?
 
Straight-Four Diesel 2.2 Liter
Marinized by Chrysler.
Very common in industrial applications.
 
OK good ..probably a 4cyl version of the 6cyl Nissan found in many Albin 27's.
 
So that is what I was ogling last summer. We apparently were on the same schedule as you coming out of Gibsons after the August long weekend. Saw you in a number of spots in August. I spent a fair bit of time on the dock at Lund looking the boat over. I think I might have seen you in Powell River as well. Good luck with the sale.

Okay that is funny. Now that I look at your ad I am pretty sure my Tollycraft is in the background of picture number 6 when you were in Lund. Small world.
 
Updated the ad to include a better asking price of:

$28,000 CAD.
