GRACE

Few boats speak to the history of American boat building as prominently as those with roots to the Maine shipyards of the Henry R. Hinckley Company. The Henry Hinckley designed Hinckley Sou’wester 50 yawl does so with aplomb. Her graceful shear, traditional overhangs and classic sail plan are reminiscent of an era when gentlemen might not have sailed to weather but sail they did. GRACE is a fine example of this genre and has led a pampered life.  Stored indoors each winter and cruised locally in New England, GRACE also benefits from excellent upkeep and continues updates.  Recent bow thruster, watermaker, electronics, sails, rigging, and paint, are a few examples of the work completed. It is the basics that keep bringing keen sailors back to Hinckley and GRACE more than gives a nod to those. She is strong, seakindly, and seaworthy, a proper vessel in every sense of the word. GRACE is also a movie star, playing a big role in the 2022 movie “Confess, Fletch” with Jon Hamm and Lorenz Izzo.
