Hinckley Sou'wester 59

ZANETIA, a sloop-rigged Sou wester 59, is the last and most advanced of the 16 Sou wester 59s built by the Hinckley Yacht Company between 1983 and 2001, and designed by respected New York naval architects, McCurdy & Rhodes. Interior construction and finish exemplify Hinckley s long-standing reputation for expert joinery, distinctive, semi-custom elegance, and creature comfort. ZANETIA is finished in satin varnished cherry wood and solid teak and holly cabin soles. Ample ports and hatches keep her light and airy below decks. She has an Espar heating system plus reverse cycle A/C, high-capacity water maker, ample fridge and freezer spaces. One of her nicest attributes is the sheer amount of space on board for guests, provisions and equipment. With electric winches and electric headsail furler she is easy to sail. Her keel centerboard configuration provides access to remote anchorages without sacrificing upwind performance. ZANETIA draws 6 ft 6 in with centerboard up and 12 ft 6 in with board down. The owner s cabin has a private companionway to the aft deck. There is sleeping for eight in three private cabins, plus two adult berths and a child s berth in the main salon. All mattresses throughout are of thick and insulating memory foam, and feature multiple sets of custom-fitted Egyptian cotton sheets, all meticulously labeled. ZANETIA was completed in 2001 for her first owner, an English lord. She is pictured in Ferenc Mate s The World s Best Sailboats (2nd ed.) and is a centerfold in the coffee table book Hinckley Yachts. She was a member of the late Queen Elizabeth s Royal Yacht Squadron. Her current owner, a lifelong sailor, has rigorously maintained this pedigreed yacht to her heirloom standards, with upgrades too numerous to list. She exemplifies the very best of traditional Maine sailboat building know-how and craftsmanship and is a symbol of American boatbuilding pride.

Unlike her predecessors, ZANETIA s hull is a Kevlar e-glass composite fused to an inner carbon fiber skin utilizing a patented SCRIMP vacuum bagging process that results in a stronger, stiffer, fully integrated hull structure that is 14% lighter than conventional methods. ZANETIA is an exceedingly strong, stiff and seaworthy vessel. With the extra offshore safeguard of a watertight bulkhead forward of the guest cabins, ZANETIA is an ocean-going passage-maker designed for safe and comfortable world cruising. The deck is also constructed of Kevlar E-glass and was vacuum bagged into 3/4 closed-cell core. The core is deleted and replaced with solid Kevlar/E glass thru-bolted on 8 centers.
