The History of Hinckley Yachts Chronicled in a Lush New Monograph

Anybody who has sailed Eggemoggin Reach in Maine’s Penobscot Bay or sat at Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse to watch boats come into Portland Harbor knows the excitement of spotting a Hinckley yacht. It is a point of pride for native, as well as aspiring, Mainers that these beautiful crafts are still made in Southwest Harbor, where the company was founded in 1928. But Hinckley’s appeal reaches far wider than a single state. The boatbuilder’s exceptionally well designed and technically advanced vessels are sought after around the world by racers and recreational sailors alike.

Nick Voulgaris III, author of the new book Hinckley Yachts: An American Icon ( Rizzoli , $65), purchased a 1968 Hinckley Bermuda 40 yawl in 2006 and embarked on a stem-to-stern restoration. In the process of taking apart his boat, he became obsessed with the firm that designed it. Established by Henry R. Hinckley, whose family owned a summer house on Mt. Desert Island, the company started out making motorboats and then added sailing models in 1938.

The Hinckley Co. expanded quickly during World War II, building various watercrafts for the war effort, and then resumed production of recreational vessels in the late 1940s. Voulgaris has unearthed many photographs and documents about the firm’s early years and used them to piece together an illuminating narrative about the evolution of an important American brand. For nautical newcomers, the volume offers a primer on the world of fine boatbuilding; for aficionados, it provides fascinating details about Hinckley’s many technological advances, races won, and extraordinary track record making new models that become instant sensations.

Voulgaris enlisted some well-known Hinckley owners to contribute essays to the book, including banker and philanthropist David Rockefeller (his most recent Hinckley is a Talaria 55), Condé Nast CEO Chuck Townsend (who owns a 36 Picnic Boat), and magazine publisher and TV personality Martha Stewart (who also has a 36 Picnic Boat). Each expresses admiration for Hinckley boats and for the skill and ingenuity of the craftspeople who make them. It’s a common refrain, writes Voulgaris. Even though the company has only produced around 2,500 vessels in its 85-year history, the boats attract outsize devotion. As he notes, “Hinckley owners often refer to themselves as ‘stewards’ of these fine craft, preserving them for the next individual to hold the proverbial keys.”

Somes Boats

Acadia mountain rises up from somes sound behind us, and we’re aboard a hinckley. these coveted yachts are still built by hand a few miles away, known for their iconic curves, polish, and posture..

W hat I know when I start driving toward Mount Desert Island on a sunny day earlier this summer is that Hinckley Yachts are beautiful, and prized. A boat captain friend back in South Carolina happens to call while I’m on the way, and  he actually gasps when I mention that I’ll  be visiting the Hinckley boatyard. “Wow, wow, wow,” he repeats. “To have one of those beauties would be my dream.”

I can remember hearing the buzz about Hinckley when Martha Stewart commissioned the Southwest Harbor- founded company to build one of its famous “picnic boats” for her, and she had them paint the hull an exclusive-to-her color that’s a heathery soft green. (The yacht’s name is Skylands II , after her cottage, up high in Seal Harbor.) But I’ve never gotten nearer to a Hinckley than to see the gleaming, million- dollar yachts in pictures or when passing through harbors. I’m ready.

HARBORSIDE START

Steam’s rising from the lobster pots at Lunt’s, and there’s a lineup of private planes at the Bar Harbor airport when I turn into the industrial park just across from the runways. Phil Bennett, one of the Hinckley Company’s vice presidents, is meeting me here, at the hangar-sized warehouses that make up Hinckley’s boatbuilding headquarters. The Hinckley Company got its start nearly 90 years ago on the shores of Southwest Harbor when engineer Henry Hinckley’s father bought a small boatyard facing directly into the mouth of Somes Sound. In the 1930s Hinckley built luxury pleasure boats with the swooping, curved features of the grand automobiles of the day, and by the 1950s the company was pioneering the use of fiberglass in boatbuilding for its powerboats and sailing yachts. Bennett compares Hinckley boatbuilding acumen to “something like watchmaking in Switzerland.”

On MDI, the Hinckley Company still operates a service yard at the original site of its founding in Southwest Harbor. (With the Hinckley Company’s acquisition of Morris Yachts in 2016, it added the sailboat builder’s service yard in Northeast Harbor, too.) But it’s the Trenton facility that’s home to the real “toy shop” now, Bennett explains as he shows me around the former woodland property near the bridge to MDI. “This is where every Hinckley begins.”

A dapper dresser in yachtsman style, Bennett is a longtimer at Hinckley and in the boat world generally. His grandfather was a boat maker, and Bennett himself decided to move to Maine and join Hinckley after first getting to know the company while visiting to sell Hood sails back in the 1970s. “Most people know that a Hinckley is expensive and shiny, but they may not fully know why,” Bennett says of the yachts that typically take a year or more to build and customize for each owner. “They haven’t yet seen what goes into making them.”

IN THE WORKSHOP

The smell of wet epoxy resin is like a wasabi jolt.

We’ve entered the fiberglass shop, a garage- style building arrayed with elephant-sized boat hulls inside even larger molds. Vacuum fans whir and rumble, and at least a dozen men are working among the raw boat shapes and spools of silken-looking fiberglass cloth.

From a lobstering family, Barry Archilles started at Hinckley about 40 years ago and figures he’s helped build about 1,000 boats. He’s seen the fiberglass processes develop and improve to be lighter, thinner, and stronger, he says. “It’s a lot more technical now.”

“Years ago, all you would do is build layers of fiberglass,” he says, and the result was rugged, heavy construction that was about 65 percent resin. Now Hinckley uses techniques similar to those used to build airplanes, Archilles says, so that a hull is about 65 percent fiber and only 35 percent resin. That’s where the technical know-how comes in—this is composite construction that makes use of super-strong materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber, lightweight core and resin infusion processes, and engineered laminates.

Archilles is explaining all of this in his downeast accent and with the fervor of  telling great sea stories. When an owner bumped a rock ledge recently while out on his new yacht, Archilles hurried down to  the boatyard to take a look. “That boat was  in the water for about two weeks afterward, because the man didn’t want to tell anyone at first.” Since Archilles had helped to build the yacht, he was curious to see how it had fared after the accident. “I was excited to see for myself and make the repair,” he says, “and do you know what? It never leaked in all that time. The rock had punctured all the way into the core, but the water didn’t migrate.”

That means the high-level finishes in the cabins and on deck were just fine. Hinckleys are known for well-varnished wood cabinetry and trim: teak with a  swirling grain, rich-toned mahogany, and American cherry, tulip, and red cedar. Bow-front drawers and other curved details are throughout, and even the toe rails are shaped into a tapered curve. We soon meet Ronnie Nelson, another Hinckley longtimer who started in the yard about four decades ago. Bennett says Nelson is known as a magician when it comes to carpentry. Quiet and busy, Nelson is sanding long, serpentine cherry rails when I stop by his workbench. Barry Buchanan is nearby, inspecting the woodwork of a finished console. He says he came to Mount Desert Island specifically  to build wooden boats, and notes that a Hinckley has so many wooden features, it’s often thought of as a wooden boat inside of fiberglass. “It’s one thing to build a table,” he says. “But it’s another to build a boat that goes somewhere. I like that movement.”

THE WOW FACTOR

To see more, we continue walking through the hive-like action and industry in all corners at Hinckley on this early summer’s  day when many of the tall bay doors are open. On an upper level above the carpentry floor, Carlando Grant is focused on one thing: carefully brushing on coats of varnish by hand—10 to 15 coats onto cabinet doors and other wooden pieces of each yacht’s interior. Born in Jamaica, Grant moved to Maine  to go to college to study engineering and to work. But first, he took a job with FedEx. One day he brought a delivery to Hinckley and saw the Talaria 55 Motoryacht being built here (the largest of Hinckley yachts), and he applied for a job immediately. That was over three years ago. He still daydreams about a Hinckley of his own, but for now he and his wife own a 21-foot Bayliner to which he’s been adding wooden touches. “I’m a perfectionist,” he says. “I want you to look at a piece that I’ve varnished and say, ‘Wow!’”

Close to 300 men and women work in the Hinckley Company’s boatbuilding yards here in Trenton and another 85 or so work at the service yards on MDI; that includes the crew at the sailboat-focused Morris Yachts across Route 3, another formidable yacht builder on MDI that was begun in the 1970s and that Hinckley acquired in 2016. Since the purchase by Hinckley, Morris Yachts is still operating much as it has, with its name on new boats and the boatyard at Northeast Harbor.

It’s Friday afternoon, and some of the Morris Yachts crew have left by the time we call out   a “hello” to someone on a narrow, deck-style platform built around a 42-foot sailing yacht that’s underway. Up there is Ian Ashley, a formal residential carpenter who invites us to climb the temporary stairs and take a look at the deck up close. Once up on  scaffolding, Ashley tells me he came to work  at Morris about four years ago and “fell  in love with building boats.” This one he’s  finishing has an extra-long keel for racing,  and it almost looks like the yacht’s in graceful  motion, even as it’s securely parked upright  and steady in a wooden frame.

Throughout the day of taking in all the sights and sounds, I keep noticing that the carpenters and craftspeople are working on different parts of the same boat at the same time —the hull might still be in the mold in  the fiberglass shop, while carpenters are already constructing the bunks and galley  spaces. Bennett explains that’s possible because everyone’s following precise design and engineering plans that were generated for each boat. In a small office of computers with big screens he introduces me to nautical engineer Peter Smith, who has also been with Hinckley for decades. Smith is part of the team that works out each boat’s design and engineering particulars, including figuring out how and where to incorporate features  that a boat buyer dreams up. Those options  have included pull-down cabinets for wine  storage, retractable deck awnings, bait wells,  Italian espresso makers, and disappearing screens. He says they even once designed a compartment lined with a mink pelt, creating a new use for the vintage mink from a client’s fur coat. 

A YACHT’S DAY

Finally, we’ll get out on the water. At the  shop earlier in the day, we’d seen a gorgeous blue-painted motor yacht with a Swedish  homeport painted on the stern. A Talaria 43,  the boat will be shipped to its owner soon,  so it’s going through another sea trial first  to check its systems and performance. In  mirrored sunglasses and a t-shirt, Shane  Dowsland is the man for the job. He must have the coolest gig in the harbor.

Dowsland is a licensed captain who was a  deckhand on a schooner based in Bar Harbor  and then worked in the boatyard for Morris  Yachts before landing the sea trial job. Now  he tests the new boats before delivery. Shoes  off and on-deck, we join him for a couple of  sea trials departing from Southwest Harbor.

It’s my first time on a boat that moves by  water-jet propulsion, and immediately I feel  the airplane-like stability—even at 30 knots  and higher. We’re in a smooth glide as we  cruise past Beal’s Lobster Pier and the Coast  Guard field office in Southwest Harbor. The  docks and moorings at the Hinckley yard  are flotillas of Hinckley and Morris yachts  this time of year. In a quick glance, I count  more than a dozen picnic boats that I’m  finding easily recognizable since seeing them  crafted up close—the highly varnished, teak- trimmed, well-upholstered takes on classic  lobster boats, often with million-dollar-plus prices.

We thread through the moorings and pass several lobster boats, too. It’s like an informal  water tour of Maine boating. At one point, Dowsland points out another classic boat, a 40-foot Friendship sloop, and mentions that he has one like it. Originally from upstate New York, he married a local woman and says he knows most of the local lobstermen. And the lobstering crowd doesn’t mind seeing a Hinckley pass near their trap buoys, he notes, because the jetboats don’t have exterior propellers that might damage the buoy lines. Plus, he says, “They know these aren’t just rich, plastic boats. They know the local craftsmanship that goes into every one.”

When we motor into Valley Cove, where the seaside mountains of Acadia National Park  create a vertical wall of rock and trees that rises straight from the deep water, I step  out from the comforts of this brand-new Hinckley yacht’s cabin that’s all windows and wood paneling and soft, couch-like seating— and I look across the teak and holly lines toward the bow and feel the rush and cool  of the early summer air. So, I think in those moments on the water, this is what yacht dreams are made of.

• Hinckley Yachts

The Hinckley Company’s roots are deep in soil of Maine boatbuilding. The company, founded in 1928 to build and care for the boats of the local lobstermen, has been in continuous operation building such classics as the Bermuda 40 and the Picnic Boat. Henry Hinckley set the course with the Bermuda 40 in the early 1960s when he crafted her stunning lines out of a radical, new material, fiberglass. This combination of elegant form, material innovation and brilliant attention to finishing detail set the course Hinckley has been on ever since in the pleasure boat business.

Today, Hinckley builds Jetboats and sailboats from 29 to 55 feet and supports its owners and other yachtsmen with its network of service yards from Maine to Florida. Two other distinguished boat builders, Hunt Yachts and Morris Yachts, were acquired in 2013 and 2016 respectively.

Picnic Boats

When The Hinckley Company launched the Picnic Boat in 1994, we introduced an entirely new yacht in a class of her own. Over the last 30 years we have refined every square inch of our Picnic Boat series from stem to stern. We have redefined the standards of beauty and innovation on the water. With over 1,000 Picnic Boats launched by the Hinckley boat builders in Maine, we have developed a pinnacle line of models exquisitely outfitted for relaxing with family and friends and entertaining with ease.

 With 30 years of building Picnic Boats and working with our customers, Hinckley knows precisely how to prepare you for an unmatched experience on the water. With the Picnic Boat line, we have curated the best of the best state-of-the-art technology, developed peak performance, and refined the amenities onboard to deliver the highest quality time on the water for you and your loved ones. With each and every Hinckley Picnic Boat, excellence comes standard.
