{"product_id":"hinckley-59-sula","title":"Hinckley 59 - SULA","description":"\u003cp\u003eGraceful under sail, comfortable, safe and easy to handle, the McCurdy and Rhodes designed Sou'wester 59 is another in a long line of fine yachts built by the Hinckley Company of Southwest Harbor, Maine. From her gleaming Awlgripped topsides with signature gold leaf cove stripe to her masterfully constructed cherry interior with solid teak and holly sole, SULA is a showpiece of high-quality construction. But she's not just a beautiful yacht, having proven herself as a capable offshore cruiser with a passage to New Zealand in her wake. SULA'S protected center cockpit, well-conceived three stateroom interior arrangement, systems access, and ample storage space above and below decks add to her allure as a long-distance cruiser. Push button mainsail and genoa furling and powered winches allow easy shorthanded sailing. A powerful bow thruster aids in maneuvering in small spaces, truly making her a vessel that may be handled by a cruising couple without extra crew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last 10 years, the current owners (the second) have optimized SULA for cruising with upgraded systems and features. A fold down swim platform and Simpson powered davits were installed to manage the tender. A large solar array was installed on the davits. The standing rigging was replaced and a hydraulic Harken furler added in 2021. A complete B\u0026amp;G electronics package was installed in 2020. The engine room insulation was upgraded to reducing engine noise at cruise RPM’s by 7db in the salon and 12db in the aft cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA viewing of this heirloom quality USA-built cruising yacht is highly encouraged. The sellers recently purchased a larger cruising sailboat making this elegant cruiser available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHIGHLIGHTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew standing rigging in 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew B\u0026amp;G Electronics package in 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHall Spars carbon fiber mast and boom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForced air diesel heating system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAir conditioning\/reverse heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless-steel Simpson 250kg electric davits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1000 watts of solar power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWesterbeke 10kw genset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaRecovery 30gph watermaker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha Clavinova CLP-611 digital piano in salon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003eSULA \u003c\/b\u003eis currently owned by a single asset LLC that is transferable to the next owner.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure Yachts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47758141194403,"sku":null,"price":449000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6271\/5299\/files\/DSC_8600-scaled.jpg?v=1781025337","url":"https:\/\/swiftsureyachts.com\/products\/hinckley-59-sula","provider":"Swiftsure Yachts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
