1986 Whitby CC Staysil Ketch

As you step aboard Gaia, things just seem different. It might be the warmth of her teak, her palatial cockpit, or the jauntiness of her bowsprit as you look forward to survey her lines. She is perfectly set up as a comfortable, spacious crusing yacht - ready to go with amenities for your long weekend or offshore adventure. Take a wander forward onto her bowsprit, turn around and look back. You will realize this is one of the best seats in the house just to take it all in when you are underway, especially if you have been joined by a dolphin or two on your journey. Gaia is a well loved and cared for Whitby - Brewer 42. She is a 42 foot Center Cockpit Staysail Ketch, built in Canada in 1987 and one of the last two Whitby - Brewer’s built in Whitby Ontario. With a moderate draft, she is the perfect boat whether you crave deep-water offshore passages, island hopping in the Bahamas, cruising the intracoastal or enjoying cocktails with friends at the marina. In fact, with Gaia’s ample space, storage and appointments she would make an ideal floating home. Gaia has had many high-quality upgrades over the last few years, much of it in the last year. She has been meticulously maintained from her masthead to her through-hulls. Many of her core systems are new, all installation and refit work has been completed with the highest level of professionalism. Gaia is turn-key ready for the sailor just itching to drop the lines.

This wonderful yacht has two beautiful cabins, both with ensuite heads. Her large salon sports new upholstery, stainless steel opening ports throughout and several hatches for an abundance of light and ventilation. Gaia has a large hard-top that protects the cockpit and provides shade; or with easy access via her two ladder-type aft stanchions becomes the ultimate sun pad. Her LED lighted cockpit is perfect for evening gatherings on the hook or at the dock. With her shoal draft hull design, split rig, manageable sail system and large fuel and water capacity; plus, vast amounts of space and storage, Gaia is possibly the perfect sailing/crusing yacht.
