Description
Henry R. Hinckley envisioned the H49 Center Cockpit Ketch as an easily handled, comfortable, and capable cruiser with liveaboard accommodations for his own family. The big beamy shoal draft cruiser has proven to be just that, whether cruising northern waters, the Bahamas, or world voyaging. 24 were built between 1971 -1976. Simba is a rare find whos owners have spared no expense towards her upkeep including two major refits and constant upgrades and attention since her purchase in 2001. Sailed seasonally the past twenty years on the fresh clear waters of Lake Superior, and always stored in heated storage, Simba is in excellent, turn-key, set-sail, condition and ready for your wanderlust to take you wherever it leads. A detailed review of the H49 Ketch can be found in the July 2010 issue of Practical Sailor.

Hinckley Yacht's well-deserved reputation for building yachts of sound seaworthy design and hand-crafted quality has and will continue to serve Simba's owners well for many years to come.
The H49 Center Cockpit Ketch with a shoal 5'10" draft with the centerboard up and 10' draft with the board down provides a great deal of versatility for cruising the Great Lakes, Eastern Seaboard, Chesapeake Bay, South Florida and the Keys, the Bahamas, and beyond. The ketch design makes for an easy-to-manage sail plan while also keeping the mast height low enough for easy transit on the ICW. The H49's beam and full volume has the capacity for plenty of fuel, water, and stores to extend your cruising range and liveaboard comfort. The 120hp Ford Lehman diesel engine should provide power to move the boat at a top-end cruising speed of around 9 knots. The fully enclosed center cockpit helm is a comfortable all-weather space to operate from with good visibility and seating room for crew and guests. The aft cockpit also has a full enclosure offering pleasant seating with ease of access from the master stateroom.
