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.
Descending the companionway you will find a welcoming salon finished with richly hand-crafted joiner work in birch-wood and highly finished teak and holly cabin sole all complimented by luxurious ultra-suede leather upholstery. There's an L-shaped settee to port with a large salon table and settee to starboard to accommodate all for dining and socializing both settees have pull-outs to form additional twin berths. A flat-screen TV is mounted on the port bulkhead allowing comfortable viewing. Aft and to port is the well-organized and appointed galley running in-line full length of the passageway aft. To starboard is a dedicated and neatly organized navigation station equipped with fully updated Raymarine instrumentation and numerous drawers for charts and ship's papers. Just aft of the nav. station is a separate and well-organized electrical and mechanical room for vessel maintenance and servicing. Moving forward is a spacious head to port. The forward stateroom has a double v-berth with numerous drawers and a large hanging locker. The forward bulkhead provides easy access to the anchor chain locker. The aft master stateroom is easily accessed from the salon via the port galley/passageway. You will find a comfortable stateroom with port and starboard twin berths that will be secure sea berths when underway. The aft stateroom includes a private head with a fully enclosed shower. From the stateroom is easy access to the aft cockpit. Simba has a huge amount of storage in numerous, cabinets, drawers and hanging lockers for organized liveaboard comfort. The highly varnished teak and holly cabin sole is well protected throughout with custom fitted floor coverings. Last but certainly not least is the comfortable headroom you will find in all the cabin spaces.
