The Hinckley name has been synonymous with true yacht quality and innovation for a century and the select group of Hinckley Sou’wester 70’s represent this venerable Maine boat builder at its best.    PATRIOT is one of these special boats - considered by many to be the head of her class - and is instantly recognizable by her varnished teak raised pilothouse, which borders on the sublime in terms of the look of the yacht, as well as the degree of comfort offered. PATRIOT has graced the waters of both sides of the Atlantic and turns heads everywhere she goes.

Built to the highest possible specifications of her day, the design brief called for a yacht with exhilarating sailing performance easily handled with minimal crew to be used primarily for coastal cruising still to be capable of offshore passagemaking. With on-deck spaces for lounging, a protected pilothouse with panoramic views, lower salon open to the galley in keeping with today’s modern living and a three-stateroom (plus crew) interior, PATRIOT provides the amenities and feel of a much larger yacht.

PATRIOT has a minimum draft of 6’-6”, and a max draft of 16’-2” with her keel and centerboard. This configuration opens up anchorages and cruising grounds most sailing yachts her size cannot access, yet provides true upwind sailing performance and makes this boat a real pleasure to sail.

Maintained without regard to cost since day one, PATRIOT is offered in ‘turn key’ condition ready to take on Nantucket, the Bahamas, the Caribbean and beyond.

Of particular note is the complete standing rigging refit completed by Lyman-Morse in 2021, along with a sparkling new Flag Blue topsides Awlgrip paint job which have the yacht looking especially sharp.

Early viewing is recommended.

PATRIOT’s on-deck arrangement is practical in all respects and elegantly detailed in natural and varnished teak. Her center cockpit is comfortable for entertaining and dining around the bright varnished teak table, while offering convenient access to all sail handling controls and equipment.

The cockpit is fully protected from the elements with a combination Dodger/Bimini, framed in SS and covered with Linen Sunbrella, with clear Stratoglass windows forward and removable Stratoglass panels forward port and starboard. Additional clear side curtains create a complete and comfortable enclosure. Indeed, PATRIOT’s helm and entertaining cockpit easily adapts to all environments.

• SS & Sunbrella Dodger/Bimini w/windows & removable side curtains
• (2) Awnings by Antigua Sails headstay to mast and mast to backstay

The aft deck has access to the large lazarette and trifold passerelle, with man overboard and safety gear stowed on the stern pulpit.

Side decks are clear and uncluttered, as is the foredeck, with removable staysail stay, double bow roller and windlass, and custom bow seat in the forward pulpit.

The low-profile raised pilothouse aboard PATRIOT is directly forward of the cockpit, three steps down, with a retractable window that helps to create a contiguous entertaining area. In addition, there are three opening hatches in the pilothouse and large grey tint windows all around which, in sum, create an abundance of natural light, ventilation and unrestricted visibility. Outboard to port is a large U-shaped dinette with custom table with ‘PATRIOT’ inlay in the varnished cherry, complimented by a border of inlaid, carved roping. To starboard is a full wet bar area with inlaid Deer Isle granite countertop, retractable TV and complete audio entertainment equipment.

The forward pilothouse windows extend well beyond the four steps down to the Main Salon to starboard and the Galley to port, which creates a perception of spaciousness seldom present aboard a 70’ yacht. The salon is centered on a U-shaped custom pedestal Sapele Mahogany table and lounge area to starboard, with a hull port outboard between additional lockers and bookcases.

The U-shaped Galley is outboard to port, with flush-mounted refrigerator, freezer and microwave on the aft bulkhead lockers, shelving and portlight outboard with Corian countertops outboard and forward.

The Navigation Station is next forward outboard to starboard, leading to the few steps up to the pilothouse. The nav station is centered on a large navigation desk outboard and aft, with a large navigation desk, bookshelf, lockers, drawer stowage and flush mounted electronics.

Both staterooms have a full-size lower berth outboard with a Pullman berth above that folds down to create a settee.

Both cabins have a private en-suite head with VacuFlush WC, vanity and sink and cabinet stowage. The private heads adjoin a shared, centerline stall shower area with Grohe fixtures & soap dispensers, Cantalupi fixtures, towel bars, exhaust fans etc.

Fully forward, the Crew Quarters have over and under single berths to starboard, with the upper berth folding down to create a settee. To port are two hanging lockers and additional stowage.
