Hinckley’s focus on high standards soon had them designing and fabricating their own hardware, a testament to their desire to produce the highest quality boat possible. The graceful lines and glistening brightwork made these yachts distinctive and that tradition carries on today. While beautiful, these yachts have their foundation based solidly on function giving them strength, stability and maneuverability in rough seas. more
Currently Hinckley has eight locations in Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Maryland, Georgia and Florida with over a dozen more authorized service locations worldwide. Production lines range from 34ft /10.36m to 55ft / 16.81m. more
A pioneer in the use of fiberglass boat building, Hinckley began building boats with the material in the 1950’s. Fiberglass enabled them to save weight and add strength. An added benefit was that it allowed the boats to retain their sweeping lines that people had come to know and love. Fast forward to 1994 and the same thinking allowed Hinckley to make the switch to using Kevlar and carbon fiber from stern to bow. Unique Hinckley features include JetStick 3, Heading Hold and Dynamic Steering. here
Hinckley yachts are powered by water jets for efficiency and maneuverability. Jet propulsion provides unrivaled handling and is considered the best possible mechanical configuration for joystick applications. Hinckley uses jet propulsion, allowing their boats to operate in very shallow areas or in water with excessive debris such as lobster pots due to their lack of appendages below the waterline. Hinckley’s implementation of JetStick 3 brings military grade GPS hardware and digital processing to their yachts.
Hinckley remains at the forefront of integrating the latest technologies. Carbon fiber has now replaced fiberglass. They were one of the first American builders to adopt SCRIMP resin infusion and remain a world leader in single bond infusion. Moving to epoxy resin infusion gives 40% greater strength and improved environmental benefits. Their time-honored and highly protected process delivers incredible strength and durability. [links]
The embrace of technological advancements and commitment to doing things the right way define a Hinckley yacht.

Most of these boat builders and manufacturers continue to use the newest technology, materials, and building techniques, with fresh designs to make boats that are faster, lighter, stronger, and easier to handle. Almost all these boats are still around, and one can find a nice example of any of them for a price that ranges across the full spectrum of varying condition. [links]
Sailboats have come a long way since the 1960s, with the dreams made real by the voyages of Robin Lee Graham in the pages of National Geographic aboard Dove, Tania Aebi and her Contessa 26, and many British couples who circled the globe in a variety of wood and early fiberglass beauties. The Hiscocks set the stage for an endless series of books about world cruising by people living an adventurous life. Free-spirited people like Sterling Hayden, Sir Francis Chichester, John Guzzwell, and the Pardeys fueled the dream of cruising adventure. Blonde Hasler crossed the Atlantic countless times about Jester, his 26-foot Folkboat, proving that even cockleshell sailboats were up to the task. And who didn’t love the 1968 movie, “I Sailed to Tahiti with an All Girl Crew!”
The sailing world continues to mature, and companies have had to increasingly compete with other life pursuits. Potential buyers are no longer interested in minimal accommodations, difficult to handle sails and rigging, and boats that are dark down below and slow. They want to be comfortable, connected, and easy. The journey is still the appeal of sailing but not if it is slow, uncomfortable, or hard work. [links]
Racing rules had a tremendous impact of boat design over the decades, including IOR, CCA, and IMS. And while not all boats were built to race competitively, they prompted diversity in hull shapes, rudders, keels, and sail plans. The sailboat names are familiar to many: J/Boats, C&C, Pearson, Catalina, Columbia, Cape Dory, Tayana, O’Day, Ericsson, MacGregor, Nonsuch, and more. Most of these boats can still be found in marinas and boatyards around North America, thanks to the quality of fiberglass construction.
Today’s sailor also wants a more contemporary and brighter interior treatment, moving away from being inside a dark sailboat interior. So, many builders have responded by creating remarkably comfortable and livable accommodations that compete with other boat categories for comfort and live aboard convenience. This trend is refreshing and pulls the sailboat into the modern world. Wide, fast hull shapes with spade rudders, carbon fiber spars, synthetic rigging, integrated swim platforms, and creature comforts that make sailing easier, more fun, and more comfortable. And yet still provide the same wind-in-your-hair exhilaration and satisfaction whether one is out for the day or headed to a distant cruising adventure in the islands.
