The Hinckley Sou'wester 51 CC represents a pinnacle of American semicustom yacht building, emerging from the collaboration between the legendary Hinckley Company and the design firm of McCurdy & Rhodes. Introduced in the mid1980s as a successor to the Sou'wester 50, the 51 was designed to balance the grace of a traditional aesthetic with the volume and safety requirements of a worldclass bluewater cruiser. While the aftcockpit version appealed to traditionalists, the Center Cockpit (CC) variant was engineered specifically for longrange couples who prioritized a private, expansive master suite and the heightened visibility of a central helm station. Built during an era when Hinckley was perfecting its fiberglass layup techniques, the 51 CC remains a benchmark for structural integrity and timeless "Downeast" elegance.
