Sailing Vessel

This was the story of a family of 4 cruising for a year on a Whitby 42.   Check out the blog 


We took three years to completely rebuild this boat.  We striped the boat down to nothing and rebuilt it.  Every wire, hose, all the rigging, painted everything, took everything out and refurbished or replaced.  The boat is a "Modern" Whitby 42.  That is how the name came about, it has been reborn.


This is our story.
