42' Whitby 42 Staysil Ketch

REDUCED 01-24-2025
Lady Reeja is a Whitby 42-foot center cockpit staysail ketch, Hull #332. She was built in Canada in 1986 and one of the last two Whitby's built in Whitby Ontario.
Lady Reeja has fiberglass decks with kiwi grip and teak cockpit seats. She has a teak & holly cabin sole throughout the boat.

We have experienced recent health issues that prevent us from continuing our upgrade mission. This is an excellent liveaboard boat with separate cabins and 2 heads.
Our asking price is negotiable. REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED.

The galley has a new 2024 Seafrost refrigerator AND freezer in existing boxes. This yacht has two sleeping cabins, a v-berth forward and a very large aft berth. Both cabins have heads (replaced in 2021) with showers, in addition to a slide out double berth in a large main salon. Lady Reeja's galley has an overhead hatch, Force 10 propane stove and microwave, and plenty of storage. She has (Newfound Metal) oval stainless steel opening ports with screens (newer). The interior can be accessed forward and astern via companionways from the cockpit. She also has a convenient walk-thru below with double door access to the engine room. The nav station faces forward. Lady Reeja has a custom fiberglass and stainless steel hard top with LED lighting that protects the cockpit and provides shade, or easy access to the main via roof.
