1974 Whitby 42 Center Cockpit Ketch

location icon Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada
Year 1974
Length 42 ft / 12.8 m
Price
C$89,900

This is an exceptional example of a very popular center-cockpit cruising yacht. The current owner undertook a major refit of the yacht including a substantial interior upgrade in 2014-2016.  As a result, the level of finish is much higher than that of many sister-ships. Additionally, the yacht was used for only about a month over the two years of the pandemic. We believe that she is the best Whitby 42 on the market.
