Used Whitby 25 (Continental Folkboat) Sailboats for Sale

The Whitby 25, often recognized by its alternative name, the Continental Folkboat, is a classic compact cruising sailboat revered for its robust construction and seaworthy characteristics. Built by the reputable Whitby Boat Works Ltd. in Ajax, Ontario, Canada, this masthead sloop emerged in the early 1960s as a fiberglass interpretation of a time-honored design. Conceived by the celebrated Swedish naval architect Tord Sundén, the Whitby 25 aimed to bring the proven virtues of the Folkboat to a wider audience through modern materials and slightly enhanced accommodations, establishing itself as a popular choice for coastal cruising and single-handed sailing.
