The Hinckley SW-42 has a large “T” shaped cockpit which is comfortable and accommodating for a large crew, but also well laid out for shorthand sailing. Electric self-tailing genoa winches are within easy reach of the helm’s seat so that the boat can be tacked singlehandedly if necessary. The cockpit dodger offers excellent protection and visibility is unobstructed from the helm. Her large sail locker, lazarette, and cockpit locker offer far more storage area than normally found on much larger boats.
