The Hinckley Sou'wester 51 *Momentum*, a 1993 performance cruiser, features a custom Kevlar hull and a weight-saving construction that makes her 3,000 pounds lighter than sister ships.6:04 Originally designed by Ted Hood and Dieter Empacher with a 9-foot-6-inch draft for ocean racing, the boat underwent a keel and rudder modification by Jim Taylor to reduce the draft to 7-foot-6-inches, improving access to marinas and the Chesapeake Bay.2:02 The current owner upgraded the vessel for short-handed sailing by installing a Leisure Furl boom, electric winches, and a wired remote for the mainsheet.7:22 Recent refits include a carbon fiber rig that increased mast height by five feet, adding 115 square feet of sail area and reducing weight aloft.9:03 The electronics suite includes tandem autopilots, an Ockam race package, and Expedition software.9:34 Despite her racing pedigree, the boat is configured for ease of use, allowing the owner to depart a berth single-handed in under eight minutes.11:48
