Circe
- Hinckley 49 Ketch
Circe is unique among Hinckleys
in that she has the interior volume of a much larger boat
while still offering the luxurious varnished mahogany paneled
cabins and notable sailing qualities of her siblings. Other
appealing features include an aft cockpit for your morning
coffee and a center cockpit to keep you dry underway. Thanks
to the brass centerboard's electronic drive, it's an easy
matter to raise it for shoal draft or lower it for good
go-to-weather performance. A 4.5-kW diesel generator with
400 AH of AGM battery capacity and a diesel heater mean
you can anchor out in comfort. Circe has been
continually upgraded and kept in top-notch condition.
