The Whitby - Brewer Sailboat Association

Whitby 42      Brewer 42      Brewer 12.8      Brewer 44


 

Racoon Cay, Jumentos, Bahamas  2009

We are a group of sailors who own, use or are interested in Ted Brewer designed boats primarily focused on Whitby Boat Works Whitby 42, Ft. Myers' Whitby 42, Brewer 42, 44, and 12.8. The goals of the Association are simple: learn, share and help others learn about, maintain, repair, sail and enjoy their Ted Brewer designed boats. While there can be significant differences between models - and often variations between boats built successively - all share similar characteristics.

You are invited to join and participate regardless of your experience level.

Boat Review

Whitby 42 - A many-faceted boat known by many names

by Ed Lawrence, © Ed Lawrence

 

Ever have one of those conversations during which you wonder if you and other participants are speaking the same language or discussing the same topic? Actually, those can be fun when you're speaking with someone whose pronunciation makes “hail" sound like the place in which sinners reside.

I recently endured such an experience while discussing the attributes and merits of the Whitby 42 with several owners.

“What I really like is the bowsprit and cutter rig," one says.

“My boat doesn't have a bowsprit," another responds.

“Well, I really like the centerboard because it allows me to get into shallow anchorages and improves performance to weather," a third voice adds.

Brian Stewart's Whitby 42, Pilgrim, awaits the return of her crew, above.

“Centerboard! What centerboard? My boat has a full, shallow-draft keel that only draws 5 feet," adds a fourth.
