Overview
About this vessel
Immaculately maintained, extensively upgraded and exceptionally well equipped for serious cruising.
Avalon Bay is a beautifully presented 1973 Whitby 42, a classic Ted Brewer-designed centre cockpit cruising yacht with a long keel, cutter-rigged ketch configuration and a proven history of offshore passage making.
She has been exceptionally well cared for by her current owners, who have owned her since 2003 and invested substantial resources in upgrades and improvements over their ownership. She has also benefited from relatively light sailing since her sails were replaced in 2010.
The Whitby 42 was designed to combine offshore capability with the comfort and practicality required for extended cruising and living aboard. Her substantial long-keel hull, moderate draft, spacious centre cockpit and generous interior volume make her particularly well suited to long-distance cruising. The design is also known for its excellent storage, large engine room and comfortable aft cabin.
Avalon Bay has the equipment and inventory to support extended bluewater cruising, including a full suite of sails, wind indicator, autopilot, Furuno radar and chartplotter, substantial ground tackle, extensive safety equipment, a large house battery bank and an impressive collection of tools, spare parts and consumables.
She has also crossed the Atlantic to the Mediterranean multiple times, adding meaningful offshore experience to an already impressive cruising pedigree.
