1987 Hinckley Sou'wester 42

INTERIOR:

Crafted as only Hinckley seems to do - this interiors is done in a gorgeous American Cherry with rich varnish finishes.  The layout is traditional, but with the preferred u-shaped dinette to port.  Cherry hull ceilings throughout.  Excellent ventilation and light.  Sumptuous custom upholstery,  The photos tell the story best, but here are some highlights.

The forward stateroom is quite luxurious - with generous storage, lighting and ventilation, as well as a private entry to the head.  

The head has two entrances, significant storage and lighting.  Hot and cold pressure water and shower, as well as a manual faucet for preserving energy.  The toilet is a Vaccuflush, which uses fresh water and completely empties the lines (and therefore there is no odor!).

The Salon features the u-shaped galley to port, with a large dining table which can be expanded with a raised leaf.  There is storage in the table.  To starboard is a pull our settee, as well as a very useful pilot berth.  Storage both port and starboard in several drawers and lockers. 

Aft to port, the galley is a proper sea-going galley and has all the amenities for life at sea or in port.  A large refrigerated box featuring Greunert holding plate refrigeration.  A three burner Stainless Steel propane stove, with oven, by Ship mate - top notch.  Double stainless steel sinks.  Excellent locker storage both out board and aft.  A dedicated trash bin on a hinged access panel. And a fold-up cutting board/counter extension.

Aft to starboard is the highly functional navigation station, with a dedicated seat, storage, and proper electronics installations.  The electrical panel for both AC and DC systems is at the nav station.  Aft of the nav station is many sailor's favorite quarter berth - this one just the right width, with exceptional access.  

The engine is positioned under the stairs, with a fully opening forward panel(s) and side access from the starboard side.  The engine room is neat and tidy, with excellent access to filters, belts, strainer, etc.

The cockpit is pure Hinckley - elegant, simple, totally comfortable. Four coaming lockers with Stainless Steel trim.  One large and deep cockpit locker to port, another aft to port, with the propane locker to starboard.  There is an ample aft lazarette under a solid teak covered locker.
