1976 Whitby 37 Mk II

Ceilidh is heavy at just under 17,000 lbs compared to newer boats of the same length with lighter displacement She underwent a substantial rebuild in 2016 resulting in almost all of her equipment being replaced and upgraded. She has been re-powered with a 44 horsepower 4 cylinder Westerbeke diesel engine and all of her sails and sail handling equipment have been replaced. All new wiring and panels, new plumbing, new paint, navigation equipment, etc. have been replaced with modern equivalents. With the new and sophisticated refrigeration (and improved insulation) and solar panels the house batteries allow Ceilidh to exist independently of marinas. We never have to plug her in to dock electricity (there is an existing 115 volt charger installed in the locker but we do not use it). Solar looks after all charging. The batteries are also integrated with a Victron battery gauge and Victron 500 amp shunt that allows the operator to read incoming, outgoing and historical power use from your cellphone at any time. Being a heavy boat she has a deep bilge and as such all diesel, toilet waste and most potable water are stored beneath the sole which results in more room for other storage and excellent stability. The fuel and water tanks are stainless steel and the waste tank is fiberglass. All input and extraction points for fluids are on deck. Fuel Capacity: Approx. 85 litres (18 Imp. Gal / 22 U.S. Gal) Waste Capacity: 110 litres (26 Imp. Gal / 29 U.S. Gal) Water: 150 litres (33 Imp. Gal in two tanks)
