BIG PRICE CUT
Makes *LUNA* The One To Buy
NOW, JUST $75K BUYS YOU A WHITBY 42 WITH AIR AND GENSET
Looking for a Whitby 42 that you won't have to spend months, if not years, refitting? Then LUNA is for you. Everything you could possibly want to do has already been done. Between 2008 and 2010, her owners did a complete refit, including: an all new bottom, covered with West System epoxy and fiberglass cloth, plus an epoxy barrier coat; new primer and paint for both the topsides and deck; a new closed cell foam rudder encased in fiberglass and epoxy; new bow and stern rails, and new oversized stanchions with new lifelines; new chainplates; new windlass; new dodger and bimini; all new plumbing, including fixtures, hoses, thru-hulls, and pumps; new Cruisair 16,000 btu air conditioning; new Frigoboat keel-cooled refrigeration in a new custom refrigerator box; and an all new electrical system, including new wiring and batteries. And the list goes on and on (see FULL SPECS for an all inclusive list). There's even a generator with a new 2002 Kubota motor so that you can operate the air conditioning away from dockside power. Her time-tested layout abounds with thoughtful touches -- a full-size workbench is located directly opposite the engine room and the aft stateroom affords maximum privacy with its own head and separate cockpit companionway. Finally, she's a Whitby 42, so you know she has an excellent blue water pedigree, courtesy of famed yacht designer Ted Brewer and a quality Canadian builder.
