1987 Hinckley Sou'wester 42

This 1987 Hinckley Sou'wester 42 is a fiberglass sloop with a 42-foot waterline and 12.5-foot beam. The boat carries a single diesel Westerbeke engine rated at 46 horsepower, delivering a cruising speed of 6.5 knots and a top speed of 7 knots. White topsides with a deep blue boot stripe and matching bottom paint define the exterior, while the deck features a wave stopper hard dodger and a large T-shaped aft cockpit with new cushions.

The interior follows Herreshoff design principles and includes two cabins, one head, and accommodations for four. A fireplace with blue and white tile work adds character to the cabin spaces. Navigation is supported by Raymarine electronics—an E80 display at the helm and an E120 at the navigation table.

Equipment includes new Spectra main and jib sails, two 200-watt solar panels mounted on the hard dodger, a Maxwell-Nilsson electric anchor windlass, and a fire suppression system in the engine room. The boat is ballasted with a lead keel and fitted with a centerboard for enhanced performance and shallow-water capability.
