A 1978 Hinckley Bermuda 40 MKIII with a fiberglass hull, this 40-foot sloop is powered by a 40 hp Westerbeke diesel engine. The boat features an electric stowaway main and electric centerboard system. Recent exterior work includes a repaint with vivid red hull and oyster white topsides, new teak decking, and new canvas. Brightwork and varnish were completed in October 2025.

The interior layout includes two cabins and one head, with a custom open design. Recent interior updates encompass new cabin and cockpit cushions, new bedding, interior varnish, and ceiling paint. A new Dometic VacuFlush head and 14-gallon holding tank were installed, along with a new shower sprayer and solar vent.

Additional updates include a new centerboard cable and hydraulic ram mechanism, raw water pump, fuel and water fill hoses, fuel line, bilge pump, windlass switch, hatch covers, portholes rebedded, and new dodger, bimini, fenders, and covers.
