Iduna 1984 Hinckley Sou’wester 42 $229,000

The sight of a yawl close reaching in fresh summer winds along Maine’s Eggemoggin reach or Washington state’s San Juan Channel causes sailors and non-sailors to stop and stare. The Hinckley Sou’wester 42 yawl epitomizes the beauty, form, and craftsmanship of this sailing yacht genre. Iduna is a prime example. Her dark blue hull, gold cove stripe, white painted spars, red bottom paint, tan canvas, and varnished toe rail are a refreshing sight in marinas filled with modern production boats. Iduna has a deep fin keel to help her stand up in a breeze and point close to the wind. She has been optimized for Pacific Northwest cruising with a full cockpit enclosure, new Maxwell anchor windlass, and Webasto forced-air diesel heating. Mainsail and mizzen Doyle stack packs along with a Tides Marine luff track on the main mast make sailing easy and enjoyable. Her interior is crafted from Honduran mahogany and has ample berths for family and visitors. All mechanical and sailing systems have been updated and maintained to a high level.
