Whitby 55
4 / 10 - score 44%
The Whitby 55 is a 55.0ft staysail ketch designed by Ted Brewer and built in fiberglass by Whitby Boat Works Ltd. (CAN) since 1982.
The Whitby 55 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
