Artemis is one of two ketch rigged Sou’Wester 59’s built by Hinckley

See 360 Degree Virtual Tour at PreferredYachts.com

Artemis is one of only two ketches rigged 59' Hinckley Sou’Wester built. Her split rig provides great balance, versatility and is easily sailed by a couple. Her hydraulic furling and winches make this sail plan even easier to handle. Carbon spars keep weight down aloft and give Artemis even better performance. With the centerboard up, she draws only 6'6" allowing you to explore shallow anchorages. With the board down, she becomes a performance thoroughbred with blue water capabilities.Designed by McCurdy and Rhodes, Artemis has sleek flowing lines that will turn heads in any port. Artemis is a combination of old-world craftsmanship with advanced composite construction. The robust hull and deck are composed of hand laid Kevlar, E-glass laminates with a foam core and vacuum bagged to increase strength while reducing weight. The warm and inviting cherry interior is meticulously created by some of the finest woodworkers in the industry. Hinckley’s no compromise approach to yachts building assures that Artemis is built to last for generationsArtemis was built in 1991 for a knowledgeable and consummate yachtsman who had an open checkbook approach to building and maintaining her. When the owner decided to build a custom 154’ sailing yacht, Artemis was sold to her current owner 16 years ago. The current owners sailed Artemis seasonally from Maine to St John in the USVI. Artemis was shipped to Europe for a one-year adventure in the Mediterranean. Now, she is in St Petersburg waiting for new owners to take her sailing again.If you desire to own the finest, come inspect Artemis and be prepared to be impressed.ACCOMMODATIONSARTEMIS sleeps eight in a three-private cabin interior with three-head. Interior is finished in gloss varnished cherry.Cabin soles have solid splined teak and holly.Leather and fabric upholstery throughout including curtains, custom bedding, and cabin sole coverings for protection offshore.New 2009 cushions for the dinette and interior curtains.Marine Air reverse-cycle heat/air conditioningEspar D7LK cabin heaterVessel Walkthrough:Starting forward, a large Fore peak with line stowage and separate compartments for chain and rode are accessed through doors in the forward bulkhead. FORWARD HEAD: (Immediately next Aft)This full head serves the starboard Guest Cabin.Avonite Rose Quartz countertop with stainless steel sinkElectric Royal Flush saltwater pressure head to holding tank.Separate stall showerSTARBOARD GUEST CABIN:Large double berth with a single berth overTwo cedar-lined hanging lockersPORT CREW or SECOND GUEST CABIN:Cabin is separated by a double sound insulated bulkheadOver and under berthsDAY HEAD:Immediately aft of the port guest cabin is a Day HeadAvonite White Agate counter top with stainless steel sinkManual Skipper head to holding tankThis head also serves the second Guest Cabin.MAIN SALON:This full-width cabin is finished in high gloss cherry:DINETTE - to port:Gimballed drop-leaf cherry dining tableL-shaped cushioned seating for five.The settee is upholstered in blue leather.NAVIGATION STATION - to starboardImmediately opposite the dining table to starboard is the Navigation Station.
