A good cruising boat design is one that is stoutly built, has voluminous tankage, an easily managed sail plan, and good access to machinery. Yacht designers have grappled with incorporating these features into their designs for centuries, seldomly getting it completely right. Compromises are a part of yacht design. Beauty seems to be the first feature to be sacrificed as designers tend to work from the inside out, seemingly wrapping an overstuffed interior with a semi hydrodynamic shape. Henry R Hinckley was no stranger to this concept and when it came time for him to design a cruising boat for his family the Hinckley 49 was born. Almost like magic, the design was able to incorporate the most sought after features in a cruiser while maintaining the slinky feminine form of her sisters, the Bermuda 40, Pilot and Sou'wester series. IRISH TANGO is an excellent example of the Hinckley 49 and she has been lovingly cared for with an open checkbook. Her systems are top notch and fully serviced. New sails, canvas and electronics are just the tip of the iceberg and this Hinckley is fully found and ready for her next adventure. IRISH TANGO has had the same owners for the last 24 years and features many custom touches (portlight to cockpit to galley) and comprehensive maintinace records.

Layout:

IRISH TANGO features a two stateroom, two-head layout with a large sea friendly galley, roomy main saloon, a work room and excellent engine access. The hand-crafted Honduran Mahogany interior and attention to detail sets these boats apart from newer designs. For liveaboard comfort, there are two reverse-cycle heat/A-C units.

FORWARD STATEROOM: Very large V-berth with filler. Storage drawers under, shelving overhead, and a hanging locker to starboard. A large chain locker for rope/rode is forward of the berth. The locker is lit with 12 LED lighting for ease of inspection.

FORWARD HEAD: Aft of forward stateroom to port with manual toilet, vanity and shower, and dedicated holding tank. Across to Starboard is a large hanging locker.

MAIN SALOON: Very comfortable main saloon with a pullout L-shaped settee to port and custom pull-out settee to starboard. Shelving and lockers outboard of both settees. Beautifully crafted and refinished dining table mid-ships with built-in storage drawers. The overhead hatch and large ports provide light and ventilation.

NAV STATION: Aft to starboard is a full-sized nav station with storage drawers beneath that fit unfolded charts.

WORK ROOM: Continuing aft to starboard is a full workroom, also known as the mechanical room. The workroom houses mechanical systems, an electrical panel, work bench & tool chest, a manual bilge pump etc. A fireproof soundproof curtain provides good access to the starboard side of the main engine.

GALLEY: Aft of the Main Saloon to port is the galley, situated in the walk-through to the aft cabin.

AFT STATEROOM: Continuing aft to port is the Aft Stateroom. This is quite a large and bright space with a double berth to Starboard and a single berth to port. The space between the berths offers direct access to the aft cockpit which provides owners and/or guests with a private 'back porch'. There is massive storage capacity in the aft stateroom.

AFT HEAD: Located to starboard in the Aft Stateroom, the aft head features a new Electric Toilet, stand-up shower stall, and vanity.

Galley:

Everyone who has ever cooked at sea will praise the galley on IRISH TANGO. It's location and shape amidship provides plenty of counter space, deep double sinks, top-loading refrigeration with a separate freezer and an incredible amount of storage. IRISH TANGO has been upgraded with Corian countertops throughout the galley and heads which gives the boat a modern clean look and she has had many custom teak features added to make life in the galley more comfortable. One such feature is a portlight in the galley that leads to the footwell in the cockpit. This is a feature found on most modern designs and the added light, ventilation is a bonus not to mention it allows the chef to stay in communication with the crew underway and at anchor.

Features:

One of the first features you will notice about the H-49 is her dual cockpits. This is a feature typically not found on boats less than 100' and it is as practical as it is good-looking. The aft/owner's cockpit allows complete privacy when the galley bulkhead door is closed. When underway it is an excellent place to relax. It's low center of gravity and location well aft provides a high degree of motion comfort and is ideal for crew who get a little green offshore.

IRISH TANGO's wide side decks are uncluttered thanks to the electric in-mast furling. Her enormous tankage adds to the clean look by eliminating the need to carry jerry cans while cruising. Deck drains keep her Flag blue hull streak free. Multiple dorades and opening ports supply superb ventilation.

Owner's Notes:

- Same owner for 24 years- half the life of the boat- considerable knowledge of boat and willing to share with new owner
- The spreadsheet- hard copy of invoices for significant projects dates back to 2000- (Allow 20 inches of file drawer space)
- The boat draws 6 feet with the 500 pound bronze centerboard up and 10 feet board down.
- The main mast is 55 feet and sits approx 18 inches below the waterline. The VHF antenna adds 3 feet ( 1 meter) of additional height. I cite 58 feet as overall safe clearance height. This permits an easier passage through the ICW under any circumstance
- As a ketch, it is easier to balance the sailplan. Sails are furled in-mast manually. We also rig the boom to lower and raise the dinghy motor using the starboard powered primary winch - much easier and safer
- From my observation most sailboats are equipped with engine sizes of approximately 2HP / 1000 lbs of displacement- the Ford Lehman sp 135 provides 3 HP / 1000 lbs
- The fully enclosed center cockpit is spacious and provides great visibility
- The openings in the aft cockpit provide better through ventilation. An added feature is that you can reach the stern (135% genoa roller furling halyard) without having to go on deck
- There is a loudspeaker on the mizzen mast. It is integrated with the VHF. A function of the VHF is an automatic fog horn that broadcasts through that speaker.
- Tankage: 420 gallons of water in 3 tanks- 280 gallons of fuel in one tank- 60 gallon
blackwater forward and 35 gallons aft
- Passed USCG courtesy inspection 2022
- There have been no insurance claims as the boat has never been damaged by us
- In the salon both benches extend and can be used as pilot berths
