1972 HINCKLEY 40' 9" for Sale in Rock Hall, Maryland
1972 HINCKLEY Bermuda 40 ‘WINDSWEPT’
The William Tripp, Jr. designed Hinckley Bermuda 40 is a true American classic. Her lovely lines, mirror-like varnish, substantial polished stainless steel fittings and timeless design have tickled the fancy of boaters since the launch of hull #1 in 1960. There were 200 plus B-40s built between 1960 and 1991 and WINDSWEPT is an example of one of the most iconic, recognizable, vessels ever built. With a draft of 4' 9" center board up and 9' 3" with the center board down, there are not many places that the B-40 cannot go. It is at home cruising the Chesapeake Bay, or in her element offshore, board down, sails reefed, in a 25- knot breeze and 4-6ft rollers.
I won’t extol the virtues of the Hinckley brand in this limited space because quite frankly, you can get that information these days with a click of a button. If you are looking for a modern design, plastic fantastic, with 2 steering wheels and a nav station more suited for a 787, keep looking; WINDSWEPT is not for you. On the other hand, if you are a mature, seasoned sailor, desiring the finest in American design, ingenuity, and craftsmanship, read on. This could be your next boat, and maybe your last!

About Oaksmith Yachts
We know what it feels like to need to know what's past that next hill. To stare across an ocean and want to see what's out there. To wonder what's in that bay or on that island past that next point. To only have a day or a week to explore what should take months. We know what it's like to not be able to afford to let the weather stop you. We know what it feels like and we have a solution.
