Are used this company to buy a boat in the San Francisco bay area and the two brokers that I dealt with were amazing and handled everything perfectly while answering any question I wanted even after the boat was sold to me they still helped me with paperwork and questions. If anybody is on the fence about going through yacht brokers, this company has some real talent at least in the San Francisco Bay area.

The Saga 35 was designed by Robert H. Perry and built by Saga Yachts in Ontario, Canada as a fast, singlehanded/couples offshore capable performance cruiser. Her narrow beam, long waterline, and powerful sailplan will keep her moving quickly in light and strong winds. Timeless design details like the walk-through transom, scoop stern, easy companionway, large spade rudder, and bulbed keel keep demand for this boat high. Excellent storage space, a large cockpit, and adequate tankage will allow for months of cruising between port.

Interior Accommodations  

At the forward end of the cockpit, easy transition is provided by the companionway to the interior accommodation space. A white fiberglass sliding hatch stows forward beneath a sprayhood. There are two tapered acrylic washboards. Four curved steps topped with teak-colored Treadmaster non-skid comprise descend to the cabin sole. The Saga 35 interior layout is nicely proportioned for a cruising couple with occasional visitors. With a single head and large quarterberth, the interior feels open, light, and spacious. Starting forward is forward stateroom. The head/shower is to starboard just forward of the main bulkhead. The salon is perfectly centered ahead of an “U”-shaped galley to port and forward facing nav station to starboard. The quarterberth is open to starboard and beneath the cockpit. Headroom measures 6’ 4” through most of the interior.  

Interior design and build details are well conceived and executed. The overhead is textured white fiberglass with recessed lights and access panels where needed. Ample light and ventilation is provided from opening overhead hatches, opening and fixed cabinside ports, and cowl vents. Varnished American Cherry, solid and plywood, are used for cabinets and furniture. The teak and holly plywood cabin sole is screwed down. Centerline bilge access panels are fitted with locking handles. Cherry handrails on the overhead and deck/cabin edge allow safe at-sea passage around the interior. Reading lights and cabin sole courtesy lights are well-situated.

Access to the head/shower is either ensuite from the forward head or from the salon. Both of these doors are cherry outside with a white laminate finish inside the head. The head compartment is constructed of molded white fiberglass for water resistance and ease of cleaning and maintenance. An integral vanity sink is forward and fitted with a Scandvik hot/cold faucet with pull-out shower nozzle and hose. A cherry-trimmed mirror is on the forward bulkhead. A molded fiberglass shower pan with non-skid and gutters drains shower water to a sump box and overboard pump. Smoked-acrylic sliders are fitted to an outboard storage cabinet beneath the deck edge. The head is outboard/aft. Two overhead spot lights, a 120V outlet, cowl vent, and opening port complete this space.

A trash bin/beneath is attached to the hinge out door inboard and beneath the sink. Ample storage for cleaning gear and supplies is beneath the sink. A top opening storage bin beneath the counter is outboard of the sink. Beneath the deck edge and beneath the cockpit, three dish/pantry cabinets are closed with smoked acrylic sliders. A gimballed three burner Force Ten stove/oven is fitted with a stainless-steel crash bar and belt for cooking on port tack offshore. Just aft of the stove is a bank of three drawers and one front opening bin. The top opening 7.5 cubic foot fridge/freezer is all the way aft beneath the Corian counter. This large, refrigerated space is fitted with a sliding acrylic shelf and dome light. Overhead spot lights, a task light over the stove, and two 120 volt outlets complete this galley.

“Heirloom Quality” Hinckley For Sale

• By Cruising World Staff
• February 29, 2024

Seattle-based Swiftsure Yachts says the Sou’wester 59 Sula is for sale with an asking price of $524,000. The brokerage house describes the yacht as “heirloom quality” and ready for a new owner who is interested in short- and long-distance cruising.

Sula is a 1997 build from the Hinckley Company in Southwest Harbor, Maine, with design by McCurdy and Rhodes. Her classic good looks include Awlgrip topsides and a gold leaf cove stripe, along with a cherry interior with a teak-and-holly sole.

Just a pretty face, perhaps? Oh, no. Not even close. Sula did a passage to New Zealand, and the boat is built for long-distance cruising, with a protected center cockpit, and with stowage above and belowdecks.

Sula is also a boat designed and outfitted for shorthanded sailing. The features include a pushbutton mainsail, genoa furling and powered winches, as well as a bow thruster for close-quarters maneuvering. A cruising couple can handle this boat without extra crew.

Or, the owners can invite friends, given the three-stateroom interior layout. The master stateroom spans the 15-foot-6-inch beam at the stern, with a private companionway and ladder that lead to the aft deck and provide ventilation. The Pullman-style master berth is to port. A pullout and removable cushion extend this berth inboard. To starboard is a quarter berth with a barrel dressing seat. For even more ventilation and natural light, there are three opening ports are in the cabin sides, along with two opening hatches and two fixed portlights in the hull.

The guest stateroom is to port of the forward passageway, with a Pullman-style berth. The third stateroom, abaft the forepeak, has two bunk-style berths to starboard. An expansion board widens the lower bunk without impeding passage forward. 

In terms of upgrades throughout the yacht, the current owners (who are Sula ’s second owners) have spent the past decade adding a fold-down swim platform, Simpson powered davits, a solar array, new standing rigging, a hydraulic Harken furler, a B&G electronics package, and upgraded engine-room insulation.

That last upgrade reduced the onboard noise level at cruise speed by 7 decibels in the salon, and by 12 decibels in the aft cabin, according to Swiftsure Yachts.

Why are the current owners selling Sula ? They recently purchased a larger cruising sailboat, according to the brokerage house. The single-asset LLC through which they own the yacht is transferable to the next owner. Schedule a viewing: contact a sales broker at swiftsureyachts.com .

Allison Lehman Joins Swiftsure Yachts

“We couldn’t be happier that Allison is officially joining our team,” Swiftsure partner Ryan Helling explains. “We have collaborated with her over the years on a number of sales and have always felt that she would be a good addition to our team.”

Lehman has been a broker in the Bay Area for 23 years, working with both sail and power boats. During that time, she co-founded Golden Gate Yacht sales. Lehman’s love for sailing is purely organic, she discovered the joy of sailing while racing on the Bay and then gained more appreciation restoring and cruising her own Islander 28.

She became a yacht broker shortly after purchasing her boat. “Here was a job where I could interact with people on a daily basis about a product that I felt passionate about. Yacht sales turned out to be my perfect job.”

Lehman has sold boats and sailed all over the world, including Turkey, New Zealand, Fiji, Tahiti, Hawaii, Mexico, England, Grenadines, and New England. Lehman and her husband cruised their Sabre 426 on the West Coast from the Broughtons in British Columbia to the Sea of Cortez in Mexico and back.

“Allison is a great fit,” says Helling. “She’s an experienced offshore sailor dedicated to finding the right boat for clients. This also enhances our presence on the Bay. We find a lot of Bay Area customers looking to Seattle for excellent yachts and vice versa.”
