Bermuda 40 2 Hinckley

Designed by William Tripp Jr. and built by the prestigious Henry R. Hinckley & Company starting in 1968, this classic masthead yawl represents the golden age of American yacht design. The Bermuda 40's traditional hull lines and moderate displacement of 20,000 pounds create a sea-kindly vessel that excels in coastal cruising and light offshore passages. The boat's distinctive keel/centerboard configuration offers versatility that pure keelboats cannot match, allowing access to shallow anchorages while maintaining the stability needed for serious sailing. With a draft of 8.75 feet and ballast ratio supporting excellent stability, she tracks well in various sea conditions. The yawl rig configuration provides balanced sail handling and multiple sail plan options, particularly valuable when sailing short-handed or in changing conditions. Her comfort ratio of 35.84 indicates a motion that favors comfortable cruising over racing performance, while the capsize screening value of 1.73 suggests good stability for coastal and near-offshore work. The SA/Displacement ratio of 14.32 points to moderate performance in light to medium air. Hinckley's legendary build quality and attention to detail have made these boats highly sought-after classics, known for their longevity and timeless aesthetics that continue to turn heads in anchorages decades after launch.
