Hinckley 50' Sou'wester 50
Hinckley Sou'wester 50s are known the world over for their beauty and exceptional sailing characteristics. Saphira is the cleanest version of this venerable design we've ever seen. The current owner has exceeded all maintenance standards to keep Saphira at the ready for their arrival nearly every weekend during the summer and away for week-long vacations.
