The Hinckley Sou'wester 42 and its successor, the Sou'wester 43, represent a pivotal era for the Maine-based builder, marking a transition from the traditional, long-keel aesthetics of the Bermuda 40 to a more modern, performance-oriented hull form. Designed by the esteemed firm McCurdy & Rhodes, the Sou'wester 42 was introduced in the early 1980s as a "modern classic" capable of competitive club racing without sacrificing the offshore integrity Hinckley owners demanded. The 43 variant followed as an evolutionary refinement, often featuring a modified transom or deck layout while retaining the core naval architecture that defined the series. According to the Hinckley Yachts Heritage records, these models were among the first to successfully blend the builder's legendary wood-heavy interiors with a hull shape optimized for better upwind angles and increased interior volume.
