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, a spacious engine room, and a very comfortable aft cabin. Ample water tankage of 290 gallons provides for showers in two heads, and a 210-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.
the Whitby 42 is vintage Ted Brewer and was arguably his most commercially successful design. First built by Whitby Boat Works of Ontario, Canada and later under a license agreement by Ft. Meyers Yacht and Shipbuilding, the Whitby 42 was in production until 1988. About 300 boats were built.
REPOSE has been a frequent sight cruising the waters between Langkawi and Phuket these past two decades. Now only regretfully for sale she will offer a great cruising home and for those seeking blue water, this yacht can be made ready easily.
