1985 Cape Codder Withbread 57

This 1985 Cape Codder Withbread 57 is an aluminum-hulled sailing yacht originally built for offshore racing and later refitted for fast cruising. Designed by naval architect Gilles Vaton and constructed by the Cape Codder shipyard, the yacht measures 55.61 feet in length with a 16.4-foot beam. The all-aluminum construction—hull, deck, and superstructure—provides strength and durability while maintaining a favorable weight-to-strength ratio suited to offshore sailing.

The interior has been configured for cruising comfort with accommodation for six to seven guests. The layout includes two double cabins, two additional berths, and two heads. A bright central saloon serves as the main living area, with a chart table positioned to starboard for navigation. The galley is equipped with a four-burner gas stove and oven, supporting meal preparation underway.

The yacht's design balances the performance characteristics of her racing heritage with the practical requirements of extended cruising. Maximum speed reaches 9 knots, with a cruising speed of approximately 9 knots under sail.
