1983 Brewer 42 Center Cockpit for Sale – 42 ft – Easton, MD, United States

1983 Brewer 12.8 Cutter "Jennie Marie"

Ford Lehman 90hp Diesel Engine

   The Brewer 12.8 is an extremely capable cruising cutter.  It is very comfortable with large open salon and roomy aft cabin. The design was based on the popular and highly successful Brewer designed Whitby 42 with upgrades and improvements including larger cutter rig, optimized keel/centerboard and hull development.  The result is a surprisingly seaworthy, fast cruiser.  The reduced draft from the keel centerboard configuration allows the Brewer 12.8 to cruise and gunk hole in all the hard to get to, but lovely, shallow destinations. The powerful cutter rig is easy to handle and the Brewer 12.8 can be sailed short-handed even in heavy weather.  She has been well maintained.
