Hinckley is known for building boats that are intended to last. In the early 70’s, boat builders were still learning how strong fiberglass is, leading them to over-build the boat (making the hull incredibly strong). Additionally, J. Henry’s yawl sail plan gives us several different sail-setting options for unpredictable weather conditions.
