SAPHIRA is a stunning representation of the classic Hinckley Sou’wester 50, masterfully designed by Henry R. Hinckley with inspiration drawn from the renowned Bermuda 40 designed by Bill Tripp. Between 1976 and 1986, only twenty-five of these exquisite vessels were crafted. The SW50 is perfect for a range of adventures, from weekend getaways to global expeditions, featuring versatile interiors and a yawl rig that allows for safe, shorthanded sailing. Its centerboard enables exploration of shallow waters, like those found in the Bahamas or Chesapeake, while still delivering exceptional performance offshore. Recently traded in as the previous owner upgraded to a larger sailboat, SAPHIRA is now ready for a new owner. The current owners have made extensive upgrades, showcasing how a well-maintained classic can endure the test of time. Notable improvements include: four new AGM house batteries (2021), a new 12v Seafrost fridge and freezer system, a Garmin VHF handset at the helm, a new hot water heater, and comprehensive upgrades to the electrical and mechanical systems, including the addition of solar panels and new engine components. Her construction features a solid fiberglass hull with reinforcements in high-stress areas, while the deck boasts custom stainless steel fittings and beautiful varnished teak accents. The spacious cockpit is designed for comfort, equipped with an Edson steering system and ample storage. Inside, SAPHIRA offers a warm mahogany interior with two generous cabins and a well-equipped galley, ensuring comfort during extended voyages. Additional features include modern navigation electronics, a reliable Ford Lehman 80hp diesel engine, and a comprehensive safety and entertainment package, making SAPHIRA a prime choice for discerning sailors.
