STUNNING - UPGRADED - BEAUTIFULLY EQUIPPED - READY TO GO "CLASSIC LIVEABOARD KETCH CRUISER"
SPECTACULAR WHITBY 42 KETCH "SUNSET READY" MUST BE SEEN TO BE APPRECIATED
Ted Brewer designed the Whitby 42 in 1971 for Whitby Boat Works in Canada. She has a 13-foot beam, 32-foot 8-inch waterline, and a moderate 5-foot draft. High freeboard allows a commodious interior, which in one of the two available cabin layouts boasts two swiveling armchairs, a spacious engine room, and a very comfortable aft cabin. Ample water tankage of 290 gallons provides for showers in two heads, and a 150-gallon fuel capacity assures good range under power. A cavernous refrigerator/freezer keeps perishables during an extended cruise, a locker for wet oilskins abuts the main companionway ladder, and a handy workbench sits in the passage aft by the engine room.
Fabulous AFFORDABLE, Tough, Pretty, Classic liveaboard cruising vessel with many extras. An ideal sailboat that will take you anywhere and plenty of room for friends and family to join you (OR NOT) !
