Elusive Boat | 42' Hinckley 1987

Vessel Overview 

In 2007 Elusive's rig, deck and sail plan were comprehensively updated for performance, short - handed sailing, to include a new Leisure-furl, electric boom-furling mainsail, Harken electric primary winches, Harken electric halyard /main sheet/centerboard winch with Spin-loc jammers. The full refit was comprehensive, with new Lewmar windlass, major re-wiring, 200 amp alternator and performance/navigation electronics.

At present, Elusive is the most updated Hinckley SW-42 available on the brokerage market. For those considering the new "Daysailer" breed of yachts, she is as easily handled and as fast as any offered on today's market, at a fraction of their price. In addition, she's set up to comfortably cruise fast and safely to anywhere on the globe! Why buy a daysailer when you can have both! Accommodations "Elusive's" interior joiner work is crafted of satin finished American Cherry, with bright-varnished teak & holly cabin soles, custom louver cabinet doors and a custom double berth in the owner's stateroom.
