HINCKLEY Sou’wester 50 Yawl

The Hinckley Sou’wester 50 Yawl SPIRIT has over the years benefited from many cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. In recent years, she has been very lightly sailed, mostly within Narragansett Bay. She has recently had a huge price reduction for a quick sale. This is a great opportunity to acquire a solidly built cruising boat with a fantastic pedigree!
