Refinement is a Hinckley tradition. So, the fact that they chose to re-engineer the Sou'wester 42, the most successful cruising yacht in her class, should not be a surprise. Neither should be the fact that they sold five of the new MKIIs in the first six months of her introduction. Though the Sou'wester 42 has won the Northern Ocean Racing Trophy (IMS Division) three times, Hinckley enhanced the boat's proven performance by combining the SCRIMP system with Kevlar® hybrid composites making the hull and deck lighter and stronger. The MKII is an even more comfortable cruiser than her predecessor. The forward cabin, head, and the main salon have all been enlarged. At the helm, the coaming has been cut away to provide excellent outboard seating. The new steering pedestal includes the single lever engine controls and instrumentation, illuminated switch panel, compass binnacle, and beverage holders. All the essentials are within reach of the helmsman.

After 63 hulls, the most successful cruising yacht in her class has been re-engineered from stem to stem. Even though this design has won the Northern Ocean Racing Trophy (IMS Division) in 3 out of the last 6 years, Hinckley has found even more performance by combining the SCRIMP resin infusion system with Kevlar® hybrid composites. Weight taken from above the waterline has been put back in the form of additional ballast and the sail plan has been modified for easier shorthanding. All major bulkheads have been repositioned to enlarge the forward cabin, the head, and the main salon. The cockpit has been improved both in terms of comfort and function. Sheet winches have been repositioned for easier tending, outboard seating for the helmsman has been provided, and a new pedestal has been designed. Genoa tracks are now recessed to protect bare feet and provision has been made for cockpit electronics and instruments.
Forward of the galley, PATRIOT has twin staterooms with oversized lower single berths and Pullman berths above that fold down to form a settee. Both staterooms have Tempurpedic mattresses, hanging lockers, overhead hatches, portlights and en-suite heads that adjoin a shared stall shower. more
The full-width Owner’s Stateroom is fully aft with a centerline berth, custom circular seat to starboard, vanity and flat-screen TV forward and plenty of drawer and locker storage. There is an abundance of natural light and ventilation via overhead hatches and hull ports and the en-suite head with stall shower is forward to port. here

PATRIOT’s classic Bruce King profile and glistening varnish turn heads in every port of call. Her interior, featuring a three-stateroom layout and raised panel-varnished Cherry furniture ensures quality throughout. PATRIOT’s pilothouse offers sumptuous comfort with 360-degree visibility. Her sail handling has been engineered to offer thoroughbred performance with only two crew. Indeed, PATRIOT is a yacht that presents like a palace and sails like a dream.
The low-profile raised pilothouse is forward and just three steps down with a custom inlaid cherry table to port, seating for four to six and unrestricted visibility to the horizon. To starboard, PATRIOT has a full wet bar area with custom Deere Isle granite, plus a comprehensive entertainment center and varnished cherry cabinetry. The pilothouse is open forward to the professional galley and below the dining area with an inlaid cherry table. The navigation station/office is aft of the pilothouse to starboard. The open-plan pilothouse area aboard PATRIOT serves up a sense of spaciousness seldom experienced on a yacht of this size.
The 70-foot (21.41m) Hinckley sailing yacht PATRIOT is the queen of the Hinckley fleet. She was built to the highest specifications and offers thoroughbred performance with minimal crew.

This was a production boat, 100 were made. Most of them have tiller steering but this one has the more expensive wheel steering option. The boat is a cold molded wood construction with fiberglass hull. Beautiful very roomy interior. When sailing a cat ketch there is way less work involved. you dont have to continually trim in a jib sail every time you tack. The boat just came out of the boatyard with 8k$ spent. Comes with a survey from only two weeks ago (Oct 19, 2019). The boat needs a new mast, but these boat dont have standing rigging so only the mast needs replacement. Go to Yachtworld.com there is another Herreshoff 31 with tiller steering instead of wheel steering currently for sale at 30,000$. So at 4300$ I know this boat is priced to be sold quick, even with it needing a mast. more
If you want a generic plastic boat go buy a Catalina 30. If you love old school craftsmanship and want to stand out and have everyone notice you sailing past them on San Diego Bay then contact me. here
