This McCurdy & Rhodes, center cockpit, ketch rigged Sou’wester 59’ offers a very spacious interior for her size, as well as a protected steering station. Easily managed for shorthanded sailing plus a centerboard configuration allow for versatile cruising capability. Built by the renown Hinckley yard with great attention to detail. These features in combination with WANDERER’s excellent condition will afford a new owner the ability to make a swift, bluewater passage or cruise leisurely in safety and comfort.

WANDERER is a lovely, classic Hinckley that is owned by an avid sailor who has kept her in excellent condition since taking possession of her in 2016. In addition to having had a proactive, knowledgeable owner, WANDERER has had the benefit of having had a highly experienced, part-time captain, as well as work done in very respected yards. (Extensive work done at Hinckley Yacht Services in SW Harbor, ME during winter of 2022 - 2023 in preparation for returning to the Caribbean). She is now for sale due to the owner and his family no longer having the time to use her. A new owner will reap the rewards of buying a lovely, pedigree, traditional sailboat with many significant upgrades. Currently located in Maine. To be stored in a heated shed at Hinckley for winter of 2024 - 2025. Available to be seen with prior notice.
