Star Stuff

Cruisers Star Stuff

"Star Stuff" has been sailing the Caribbean for a few years now and has been lovingly cared for by her owners. She is well equipped for extensive cruising, with tons of upgrades. Her chainplates, running, and standing rigging were replaced in 2019/2020, and in 2022 her engine had a complete rebuild! Her warm, classic interior is built for cruisier comfort, with a v berth up forward, a huge aft stateroom, and easy engine room access.

"Star Stuff" is currently located in St. Lucia. Does St. Lucia seem too far away? It is - in a good way! The owners of this Whitby 42 have done all the "easting". The hard work of windward sailing has already been done - you won't have to motor sail against prevailing winds to get to some of the most beautiful spots in the Eastern Caribbean. Star Stuff is a daysail away from Martinique and Grenada and just a few days from beautiful Guadeloupe and Les Saints. Skip the Thorny Path and take advantage of this vessel's location and get to the good stuff faster!

S/V "Star Stuff" is a worthy example of the build quality, attention to living space, and aesthetics that Whitby 42s are famous for. Designed by the renowned naval architect Ted Brewer, she combines classic design with comfort, making her the perfect boat for coastal cruising, island hopping, and bluewater sailing. 

"with a generous sail area of 875 square feet, a long waterline, and well-

designed underbody, these ketches sail remarkably well – several owners report speeds of 7.5 to 8 knots on a close reach.  In the 1970s, the Whitby 42 Revelation collected a number of firsts while racing under PHRF in California.

Comfortable, seaworthy, and forgiving of a novice sailor, the Whitby 42 found a receptive clientele, and Whitby Boat Works sold 233 of them before ceasing production in 1987." - Tom Zydler, Cruising World Magazine
