Description
The popular and well-regarded Brewer 44 was the final, and best, iteration of the Whitby 42/Brewer 12.8 models. Built in the USA by Fort Myers Yacht and Shipbuilding, the construction is simple yet well executed and more than 300 of these models have been built. An active Owner's Association supporting the three versions of this hull and deck combination has a wealth of information available to fans.
ANGEL WING has been owned by her current owners for more than 20 years and enjoyed a cruising lifestyle including most of the U.S.'s eastern seaboard and the Bahamas, with side trips to Mexico. With a newer Mack Stack Pack mainsail and furling headsails, the boat is easily managed by a cruising couple, but large enough for another couple to enjoy weeks at harbor or at sea. A centerboard keeps draft to a minimum when anchoring and gets plenty deep when sailing to weather, while the cutter rig keeps sails of manageable size and low enough air draft for ICW trips.
Updated Frigiboat refrigeration and freezer compartments, new upholstery throughout the boat, new heads, a large separate shower stall in the owners' aft stateroom, and even an electric clothes dryer add up to some amazing comfort and convenience. Come take a look and see what makes this such a popular couples' cruising boat.

For 29 years, Bill was the public “face” of Island Packet Yachts to customers, dealers and industry members worldwide. A well-known speaker at boat shows, owner rendezvous' and marine-industry events, Bill had joined the fledgling boat builder in 1987, fulfilling a wide variety of roles over the years including customer service, dealer acquisition and training, sales, marketing, and quality assurance. Bill first got hooked on sailing at the age of 13 after sailing a Sunfish across the crystal-clear waters of Montego Bay, Jamaica. After graduating from college, he bought his first new boat, a Hobie 16, started a sailing school with a friend, and on a first date with his future wife, won the Hobie 16 Tri-State Championship with her as crew. After several years working as a marine patrol officer for the state of Ohio, Bill began selling yachts and teaching sailing for a Lake Erie dealership. He moved to Florida a few years later, where his new-boat sales acumen included models from companies such as Tartan, Pearson, C&C, S-2, Cal, Catalina, Beneteau, Morgan, Endeavour and, of course, Island Packet. Bill served nine years on the board of Sail America, including two terms as president, and was selected to be one of three judges for the 2018 Cruising World magazine Boat of the Year competition. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Yacht Broker’s Association of America as the current Vice President, and is a Certified Professional Yacht Broker. His in-depth knowledge of the industry and keen focus on customer relations make him a valued addition to the S&J Yachts team.
