Hinckley Yachts

Hinckley Yachts was founded in 1928 in Maine. They manufacture, service and sell luxury sail and powerboats. They have developed yacht technologies including JetStick and Dual Guard composite material, and are an early developer of the fiberglass hull. Currently, Hinckley operates service yards in seven locations along the east coast of the United States, making it one of the most integrated boating concerns in the United States. Hinckley’s present yacht line includes boats ranging in size from 29 to 55 feet. All of Hinckley’s yachts are built to order with customization of the interior and exterior cosmetics as required by the purchaser.

Hinckley Sailboats

Hinckley’s current line of yachts includes seven powerboats ranging in length from 29 to 55 feet and two sailing vessels from 42 to 50 feet (each boat’s length is represented by the number preceded by its name).

Bermuda 40

The Bermuda 40, designed by William H. Tripp, Jr., was introduced in 1959 as Hinckley’s first fiberglass boat. According to Jack Horner of spinsheet.com

“the B-40 was to become the bellwether for future production and established Hinckley as the premier North American Yacht builder of exceptional quality sailing yachts”.

The last B40 was built in 1991, ending its 40th year of production with the 203rd rendition of the trendsetting yacht.
