1982 Whitby

From the Selling Broker: "Next Chapter" has been at Lake Ray Hubbard since 2016, previously located in Florida. The previous owner kept the vessel for 12 years, and it has been under the current ownership/seller for the past 8 years. Both owners have maintained the vessel well, ensuring regular preventive maintenance. The boat is currently located in fresh water in Dallas, TX. Although Whitby Boat Works originally advertised the Whitby 42 for coastal cruising, online articles and reviews have proven that it's a well-built, strong boat capable of handling open blue waters and long-distance passages. The interior layout includes a stern cabin with an independent wet head, a bow cabin with a shared wet head (accessible from both the saloon and the bow cabin), and a U-shaped galley equipped with a 3-burner stove, double sink, and two refrigerators with three opening hatches. The saloon features an L-shaped settee on the starboard side and a long settee on the port side, both of which can be used as sleeping areas. The foldable table is fixed to the bulkhead, hiding a storage area perfect for miscellaneous or small items. Storage is a significant feature of the Whitby 42-you'll find storage options in almost every corner of the vessel, with numerous storage units and opening hatches for your boating and personal items. As mentioned earlier, the boat is located on Lake Ray Hubbard, an inland lake situated 30 miles northeast of downtown Dallas. If you need to transport the boat to the nearest coastal shore or any other location, we can recommend appropriate and qualified service providers for moving, preparation, and rigging. Resumen of Ed Lawrence September / October 2005 issue of Good Old Boat magazine: The Whitby 42, designed by Ted Brewer, is a versatile and customizable 42-foot ketch with various configurations that make it a unique production sailboat. Originally built at Whitby Boat Works in Ontario, Canada, and later in Fort Myers, Florida, the Whitby 42 had a range of options like bowsprits, centerboards, or shallow-draft keels, leading to a variety of models with slight differences in design. The Whitby 42 is known for its traditional design married with new technology (fiberglass), providing a spacious and seaworthy yacht with a large cockpit, ample belowdeck accommodations, and practical features like a Lehman Ford diesel engine for long-range motoring. The article also notes the vessel's performance, highlighting that while it's not a fast or weather-beating sailboat, it offers a comfortable ride, particularly on a broad reach in moderate winds. The boat is appreciated for its traditional aesthetic, spacious living quarters, and versatility, making it a beloved "good old boat."
