1969 Hinckley 38

The 1969 Hinckley 38 is a fiberglass sailing yacht designed by Sparkman & Stephens, built for comfortable cruising and solid performance. With a displacement hull and fin keel, the boat achieves a cruising speed of 6.5 knots and a maximum speed of 7 knots under its 44 hp Westerbeke diesel engine. The rig includes a tall mast with double spreaders, a Harkin furler, and a Tides mainsail luff track, supported by seven winches—six self-tailing—for manageable sail handling.

The boat features a deep cockpit with comfortable side combing and a well-equipped interior. Recent work includes engine and bottom service, new interior upholstery, and three Optima AGM batteries. Navigation and automation systems include a multifunction GPS speed puck, Raymarine depth sounder, and B&G autopilot. LED lighting runs throughout, with dedicated red night lighting for night work.

Standard gear includes an electric windlass for anchoring ease, bow and stern anchors, a Stack Pak lazy cradle system, and an inflatable dinghy.
