5 / 22 - score 57%
The Whitby 45 is a 45.0ft masthead sloop designed by George Cuthbertson and built in fiberglass by Whitby Boat Works Ltd. (CAN) between 1968 and 1970.
16 units have been built.
The Whitby 45 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
