Description: |
Zanetia, a sloop-rigged SouWester 59, is the last and most advanced of the 16 SouWester 59s built by the Hinckley Yacht Company between 1983 and 2001, and designed by respected New York naval architects, McCurdy & Rhodes. Unlike her predecessors, Zanetia's hull is a Kevlar e-glass composite infused to an inner carbon fiber skin utilizing a patented SCRIMP vacuum bagging process that results in a stronger, stiffer, fully integrated hull structure that is 14% lighter than conventional methods. Zanetia is an exceedingly strong, stiff and seaworthy vessel. With the extra offshore safeguard of a watertight bulkhead forward of the guest cabins; Zanetia is an ocean-going passage maker designed for safe and comfortable world cruising. Interior construction and finish exemplify Hinckleys long-standing reputation for expert joinery, distinctive, semi-custom elegance, and creature comfort. Zanetia is finished in satin varnished cherry wood and solid teak and holly cabin soles. Ample ports and hatches keep her light and airy below decks. Espar heating system plus reverse cycle A/C, high capacity water-maker, ample fridge and freezer spaces. Zanetia was completed in 2001 for her first owner, an English Lord. She is pictured in Ferenc Mates, The Worlds Best Sailboats (2nd ed.) and is a centerfold in the coffee table book Hinckley Yachts. She was a member of the late Queen Elizabeths Royal Yacht Squadron. Her current owner, a lifelong sailor, has rigorously maintained this pedigreed yacht to her heirloom standards, with upgrades too numerous to list. She exemplifies the very best of traditional Maine sailboat building know how and craftsmanship and is a symbol of American boatbuilding pride. Serious inquiries only. No tire kickers, please. |
