Continental 25 Whitby

Designed by T. Sunden and built by Canada's Whitby Boat Works starting in 1961, this traditional masthead sloop represents classic sailboat design from the early 1960s. With only 35 hulls produced, the Continental 25 has become a relatively rare find among vintage sailboat enthusiasts seeking authentic character and time-tested seaworthiness. The boat's long keel configuration with transom-hung rudder delivers exceptional directional stability and predictable handling characteristics that new sailors appreciate. At 5,500 pounds displacement on a 25-foot hull, this fiberglass yacht carries substantial ballast for its size, contributing to impressive stability and comfort in varied conditions. The generous comfort ratio of 28.29 indicates a motion that favors relaxed cruising over aggressive performance sailing. Built for coastal cruising and weekend adventures, the Continental 25 excels in protected waters and moderate offshore conditions. Her conservative sail plan and substantial construction make her well-suited for sailors prioritizing safety and ease of handling over racing performance. The long keel tracks beautifully and forgives steering mistakes, while the masthead sloop rig keeps sail handling straightforward. For buyers seeking vintage charm with proven seaworthiness, the Continental 25 offers the appeal of traditional design principles in a manageable trailerable package.
