You guys are very kind with your comments. Thank you. You seem to have the design concept down pat. The boat was built by our crew who were a combination of ex Hinckley employees who left Hinckley after it sold the first time and a group of young folks, many who went through the boat building school in Eastport, Maine. It was really a terrific experience to go to work with these guys. Design ideas and details were flying all over the place. As I reach the point of life where the body is demanding I slow down it is a great boost to view your video and see one of our boats appreciated. Thank you so much and please keep up the good work! I love the classic boats.
Thank you Hank Your comment means a lot to us. We try to do the best we can in the limited time and with a limited tools at hand so we’re not always certain we will be doing the best service to all. And we tried to reach you at the last minute but we ran out of time so thank you for checking in with us and for the kind note. PS in 1967 my father purchased one of the new 48. She was dark blue yawl named mistress. Great boat as all Hinckley’s are of course Maybe You were in the Navy then and not at the yard. About a year later I joined up the Navy as well. Interesting times. Thank you again for your generous comments. Stay well Captain Q and Randy
Hello Mr. Hinckley. Thank you for building this gem. I was the captain on Astraea for the past couple years as she was a charter boat out and around the Saco bay area. What an honor and joy to sail your haul no.1 of the OC40. She will make a good companion for whoever choose to step aboard next. Thanks Captain Q for the high marks on her condition including the nav table. :-) she sailed many wonderful trips under my watch. fair winds and following seas Sincerely, Jonathan
Captain, My Parents were the first owners of this Boat. I had the opportunity to sail this boat with Hank to the Newport Sailboat Show. Lots of fond memories sailing in the Bahamas. You might remember me as the guy who Bought "Rise Above". Love your channel!
@@markrowley8247 You are one lucky sailor... we both loved the Mariner... you are wise to have taken over the helm from one of heck of a couple!! Congrats on owning an incredible vessel!
It has the right things checked, love the center board, great attention to detail, cockpit has mega drains. Man o man I need to have a discussion with the wife and we may be booking a flight to look at this one.
@@YachtHunters That is my plan. I am headed to Alaska later this month to work and save. I figure after 16 months I will buy a sailboat like this with extra money for upgrades.
I've got a wish list for the two of you. On RUclips,as I'm sure you're aware, there are videologs of a lot of couples doing their nautical thing, giving the rest of us something lovely to dream about. Your channel is part of that dreamy process. One of my favorites is a couple and their boat, Uma. In the course of their adventures, they gutted their Pearson 36 and pretty much rebuilt the damn thing. It's GORGEOUS. So here's what I want you guys to do: I would like you to set up a laptop and film yourself responding to their 35 minute interior tour of what the two of them have done. YOUR MINDS WILL BE BLOWN at their inventiveness, creativity and flexibility - I'm hoping you will be not just impressed with Uma, but will be utterly gobsmacked by their efforts. I'd LOVE to see you both evaluate their incredible outside-the-box thinking. In my mind, most marine architects would completely lose their minds at the leaps those two have made aboard their liveaboard. So please, Captain and Randay, consider this your incredibly fun homework assignment: film yourselves watching their video. Everyone will have a blast! Link: ruclips.net/video/8qtMHgXM-7I/видео.html
What's not to love here, pedigree, design, condition and a reasonable price. I bet this one will sell fast now that it has some exposure. The hydraulic centerboard is a selling/sailing plus! Nice job of finding this beautiful old girl Gentlemen.
Well. A hydraulic centre board is an additional item to go wrong and hydraulics invariably do go wrong. 2m keel with a dinghy infinatly a better choice. But I like Hinckley. Would like a 48/50 foot SLOOP.
This is a beauty! Certainly deserving of the 36 point score. I would almost place money on the bet that this boat has sold by the time this episode is a few days old. Get the bottom cleaned and repainted, the rigging checked and installed, add a few more cans of Dinty Moore and hit the water. Thank you gentlemen for showing this gem. Have a great weekend.
I look forward to Thursday now since Cap'n Q will make my day. Ran-day is quite the videographer as well. I am just a poor soul that must live vicariously and dream of returning to the sea one day. She is a beautiful old boat. Thanks for the tour.
What better way to enjoy my 68th birthday than with a plate of Dinty Moore and an episode of Captain Q? Maybe an afternoon on that Hinckley would do it. That is truly a sailor's boat. Every detail is considered with sailing in mind and the finish is wonderful. I see the Captain has given in to facial hair finally. Next I expect to see a Greek fisherman's hat which would take me back to the days of my youth at Old Orchard. Excellent episode gentlemen. Thank you as always.
Wow, we are actually thinking the same thing Captain! I too was thinking that I could circumnavigate in an OC 40 and gunkhole along the way! She looks beamy, sea kindly, sturdy, not too drafty (I like that), has some capacity in those full bilges for fuel & H20- merely needs repowering, standing/running rigging, new wiring, new through hulls, a quick check of the gudgeon & pintles- and off we go! Love those stainless deck fittings: fairleads & bow pieces are GORGEOUS! Works of art.
Wow, I was an employee of Hinckley and in my years on Mount Desert I had occasion to visit the OC shop which was like a secret garden in those days. I was blown away by the designs and bookmatched craftsmanship to the Hinckley yard found at their facility.
Hinckley, Tripp, Herresshoff. I love how this master class goes into lineage and pedigree. I might not pass the final exam though. I'd probably misspell some words like 'smoosher'. I think CQ makes up new words😊. Gorgeous, gorgeous details on this gem, wow, very Hinckley'esc, and for a great price.Thanks for sharing, and for making up new words too 😊.
Captain Q is wrong ! That's not the real meaning! As you go east the longitude numbers get lower. That's "down east" same as "up island" and "down island" It's the longitude.
Good morning. Some details: Lectrasan system on board, Westerbeke 40 showing 1258 hours on the tach. Refrigerator is electric. No forward wash down observed. Electronics are out of date. Sails are old but serviceable. No tender. Yard is closed Saturday & Sunday.
And recall, that HR had 3 sons, including Bud. Just re-read their uncle Ben's memoir covering the yard and travels through the family legacy of yacht building, good stuff.
He is wonderful we would love to do an episode with him and his family. He’s coming on just about the right time since the captain is running out of breath lol
Love your presentations Cap'n Q, on this one you didn't mention that the cabin sole is real teak and holly and not veneered., but of course, it's a Hinckley...
@@seandelaney1700 Might not change everything, for every buyer but it certainly would add a certain cudos to a Hinckley enthusiast or anyone motivated to restore a vintage piece of Americana boating.
I loved the rounded corners on the doors. Extra marks for the millwork on this boat. Certainly not being too generous at 36. Again, glad I don't live on the east coast - it would get expensive. :D
I like the boat and the Hank brand. That said everything I thought about boats for fifty years went out the window when I bought my first roomy center cockpit boat. Today, I can't image spending any kind of money without having a comfortable and easy to get into 'bed.'
My Mother donated our fathers OC40 back to Hinckley when our father was terminal. We’d love to find her one day. To know she’s loved. She was named Rag Time.
I'm in love with this boat. I'm currently in the process of saving up every extra penny I make with the idea of buying a boat that I could live aboard and spend time around the east coast down to the gulf while I become comfortable with everything one should learn when transitioning to this lifestyle. One thing I've been curious about is how much money I should save beyond the cost of buying and insuring a boat. Mostly to do with all the extras involved with keeping the boat in working order, while living as comfortably as possible. I'm a 100% disabled veteran of the US Navy and I've recently recovered from my health issues to the point that I'm able to live whichever lifestyle I choose. My disability pay will be roughly $40k a year for the rest of my life. This will at least give me the advantage of having a passive income while being away from normal life.
Wow, you are a 1%'r to be sure. What a lovely plan you have, I will strongly encourage you to make it a reality soon. There are plenty of cruising channels that speak to the expenses, you won't be the richest but you will be far, far from the poorest. It is a big beautiful world full of wonderful people, I'm sure you will fit right in.
Cap Q and Ran-day, with every one of your videos, I am that much closer to buying a cruiser and sailing the oceans of this amazing world! And it's all your fault!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 Thank You, Sir for everything!
Nice review guys! And Cap- the beard looks good! Like a sea captain should! Thanks again. Your reviews are perfect. Even if you’re not into the boat shown you can get lots of important details on sailing vesssls ! Love this channel. 🚤 ♥️ ⛵️ 🌴
I am envisioning (my "imagination" again) a "relationship" with either one of you guys that includes "the inside scoop" ... Yea that would be information about what you're doing. Where you're going "ahead of time." So that "after filming" I could be standing "off camera" with my check book. This boat is not a 30 minute drive from where I live. So right now I could work on "going nautical". It is so close to reality for me to be able to afford a 50G and less "pretty good boat" and then just "move in." ~ Maybe I'd only have the boat for five years but wow. This is why Randal's posts are so valuable (with his "new" boat). ~ Oh yea... ~ So sad.about Annapolis this last weekend. ~ Oh well. ~. Rain rain rain. ~ just sour grapes for me ~. and I'm seeing posts with lots of happy You Tubers. Thank you again. ~ Best wishes, always. Steve
Captain Q your new pal Jack the yacht broker. Says WOW. Photos lie often but what a beautiful boat!! I love great boats nobody ever heard of!! Sending in a link a boat I just closed on. Finncraft 38
"The latch needs attention". Meaning, the chrome finish or the mechanism, i.e. spring or metal wear? I love the fit and finish of New England Hinckley's but the common lack of a chart table is a deal killer, this one fixes that, even the galley looked nice. And the slope to the back of the settees, another win, without...deal killer. Well done boys.
Sea trial went well with Sean Tarpey, owner, at the helm, and Chris Avallone, surveyor. It was a beautiful spring day in Maine on the Saco River -- Very memorable with pines and flowering deciduous trees lining the river, eagles flying overhead, and a young seal sunny on a rock. I look forward to returning in a couple of weeks to close the sale.
What a treat for you that River is lovely the motor up and down and at one point you feel like you’re lost in the woods almost. I think you will enjoy this boat in. Feel free to drop us a line if you’re in the area and I’ll stop down and say hello it’s only about 6 miles away from my home. By the way I did ask Sean where he rented the Eagles and the baby seal. Those are great sales tools
My wife and I are here in Biddeford and leaving Thursday around noon. We're cleaning, organizing, and planning what we will do with the boat, as far as repairs, updates, and improvements. Please come over if you have time.
Always amazed at how great a can of heated up Dinty Moore savors in the cockpit after a day of sailing versus eating it ashore where I compare it to how I imagine a can of Alpo would taste.
@@YachtHunters Hah! I learned this eating my first powdered mashed potatoes and green peas camping with my childhood friend and his Naval fighter pilot dad, on a piece of the Maine coast his grandpa had picked up while out at sea during the war...gambling no doubt. Yum!
@@YachtHunters I'm terrified of Sea Sickness in Ocean Swells and don't want to experiment with it. Seasickness at first you are so sick you are afraid you will die, and then you are so sick you are afraid you won't die. Mark Twain.
At 4:2.0… we call that a ‘Garboard plug’ It’s a drain hole for winter storage, it keeps the hull from filling with rainwater and snow, Without the bar board plug any accumulated water might build up, and even freeze and damage the hull and floorboards…
Love these boats! If you ever get the chance you should check out the OC 52! In many ways these are actually better than the Hinckley B40. Hank spare nothing in her construction and the Airex foam makes for great insulation and sound deadening. I don't think Hank made more than 2 or three of these before he built the 42 making them quite rare.
the head layout should have the lav shifted port into corner thus providing ample space for a designated shower area. also i would modify nav desk to have a slight slant.
Captain Q you know if you get this one you will need new pants and suspenders. You also might have to race Ran-Day. You need to go for it.. Fair Winds and Following Seas from the crew of Sv Celtic Lady Seawind II 68 Ketch.
Of course all that varnish is also a LOT of work. You should have commented that the glass bowl Racor in the engine compartment violates ABYC standards. Should be metal bowl because of heat and fire danger. Still, I love your series.
@@YachtHunters I'm assuming Balsa Wood is not used in fiberglass sandwich construction anymore because if there is water intrusion, it gets wet and rots. Replaced by Marine Grade Blue Foam Insulation?
I am looking your videos (from Germany) since the 1 day - this one is for me the best yacht you introduced to us. Everything under and above deck is where i would expect it to be. Unfortunately i am (as someone below wrote) at the wrong place and time - i am 2 years older than the Captain. Two Remarks: on almost every boat that you discussed the body painting was too thick (too many layers) and had some areas, where the layers flaked off. For me this would be the first thing to eliminate - as long as the sails and rigging is pulling me forward and the engine is pushing me. Whats your opinion? You mention that some carbon-blasting would be necessary. Could you please describe this occasionally? I suppose that it is something similar to sand-blasting, but with deepfrozen carbon dioxide?
Thanks for watching and being an early adopter! We talk about Soda Blasting {sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)} mostly as the method to remove all the paint back to the fiberglass... it's relatively inexpensive and effective at getting the paint off. We've heard cost estimates of around $2000. USD for a mid-sized boat to come in and soda blast the bottom. We think it's well worth the investment to bring it back to the base layer and build it back up nice and smooth. We hope to show this in detail in a video sometime soon. thanks for the suggestion!!
I have a question about the how is done the inspection of keel bolts and centerboard encasement and system in this type of sailboats. As always thank you for your awesome program.
My only problem with this gorgeous vessel is she's available now and I don't quite have all my ducks in a row just yet. That and I think the Captain may just snag her first...
I thought maybe she would get an extra point for being hull #1. It is a really, really nice boat but you know I can't buy one. Keep the good stuff coming Captain.
Not a sailboat owner but whenever I see these V berths and the single berths near the chart table I think there should be a grab bar to lift your torso and slide your legs in sort of like the bars we had above the top rack in Navy berthing. The more time that passes the better a nice Westpac sounds, even a little counter narcotics cruise to Columbia would do. I just would not want to deal with the way some officers treat enlisted like children. That BS got old fast and kills morale. I do miss being at sea, watching the dolphins, the clear night skies, and the conversations that we would have on the long night watch. Time and distance makes everything look better.
John Lennon sailed a Hinckley 40 to Bermuda, may have been the B model, He was the only one onboard not seasick, that could take over when the captain, could no longer stay awake. Singing sea shanties and composed some greats just after,
Highly doubt the Coneys family crew members who sailed John Lennon to Bermuda were ever mal de mer. They do remember John have a blast in the rough Gulf Stream crossing with his guitar down below singing “We are in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine….”
Man I absolutely love your show. Loved the Cape Dory 33, the block island 40, even the wooden gaff cutter you saw in the snow ❄️. Keep up the fabulous job. Given that budget, time, and preference keeps me looking at the smaller end (25-35’ ish) would love to see more boats like that. Also - speaking of small boats have you got ANY idea what make/model the gorgeous light blue sloop is in your opening credits? Second harbour shot & she’s just a very pretty boat. I was wondering maybe older cheoy Lee or vintage Pearson? Would love your guess as it’s likely to be more accurate than my own 🙂. Many thx in advance.
Wow , you've done it again Captain, what a beautiful yacht, what an awesome price just gorgeous...Only thing is where would I anchor this baby? Would be a nice problem to sort out...One day Captain ..one day..like the beard too old mate.
Hers a question. Why is the standing headroom on sailboats so low? Is it a center of gravity thing? Is it a so you can see where your going thing? Something else? Although i noticed you could stand up in that one.
Yes yes yes and yes Even though you spend probably less than 10% of your time below deck standing up, designers always try to give at least 6+ or minus feet of headroom in a boat. There are a few people who will need more headroom but overall that is a good starting point. In the older boats with deep keels that were integral to the hall the headroom measurement started somewhere below the waterline. As the Bilges got flatter the architects had to raise the sides of the boats to get headroom without having an offensively large Cabin top. Keeping weight low on a boat is extremely important aspect of understanding the stability of a boat. The lower the center the greater ability of the boat to stand up to heavier wind and carry more sale for speed etc. it is very nice to be able to stand up below especially for cruisers but rarely do you find headroom in about less than 25 feet long. There are exceptions. There also is the aesthetic aspect of design to consider which goes to our soul as much as anything else. Very important
It’s interesting to compare modern hull shapes with this boat. Sitting behind the helm it looks like you’re in a canoe compared to the aft beam on modern boats. Still, a lovely boat.
Hey Cap, really nice boat love Hinckleys of any gestation. Quick question, could you be on the lookout for a McCourdy and Rhodes Navy 48. I would love to see a review of this really handsome vessel. Thanks
You guys are very kind with your comments. Thank you.

thank you kindly!
Ahh! Some sanity in this crazy world. Man overboard, bring the gaff? LOL Beautiful boat.
that wasn't a gaff either ...hahahah
Encore un magnifique bateau, ça change de nos tupperwares !!
Bravo Captain Q !
merci beaucoup!
Indeed. It is hull #1, not Beneteau #328.
Cap Q and Ran-day, with every one of your videos, I am that much closer to buying a cruiser and sailing the oceans of this amazing world!
And it's all your fault!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Thank You, Sir for everything!
You can do it! remember the clock is ticking and fair winds and sunny slies and quiet anchorages await you
Nice review guys! And Cap- the beard looks good! Like a sea captain should!
Thanks again. Your reviews are perfect. Even if you’re not into the boat shown you can get lots of important details on sailing vesssls ! Love this channel. 🚤 ♥️ ⛵️ 🌴
thanks very much, Rick! Much appreciated :)
I am envisioning (my "imagination" again) a "relationship" with either one of you guys that includes "the inside scoop" ... Yea that would be information about what you're doing. Where you're going "ahead of time." So that "after filming" I could be standing "off camera" with my check book. This boat is not a 30 minute drive from where I live. So right now I could work on "going nautical". It is so close to reality for me to be able to afford a 50G and less "pretty good boat" and then just "move in." ~ Maybe I'd only have the boat for five years but wow. This is why Randal's posts are so valuable (with his "new" boat). ~ Oh yea... ~ So sad.about Annapolis this last weekend. ~ Oh well. ~. Rain rain rain. ~ just sour grapes for me ~. and I'm seeing posts with lots of happy You Tubers. Thank you again. ~ Best wishes, always. Steve
Excellent design, workmanship, and routine maintenance.
agreed
Wow Captain, once again you have found a true beauty. Thanks for sharing another beautiful video. Great editing by Randay 👍👍⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️💕💕
Thank you so much 😀
What a beautiful vessel. I 100% agree with youre rating.
Captain Q your new pal Jack the yacht broker. Says WOW. Photos lie often but what a beautiful boat!! I love great boats nobody ever heard of!! Sending in a link a boat I just closed on. Finncraft 38
Can't figure out the link but do Finncraft 38 on Yachtworld. You'll love it
I love this channel, this boat is perfect and gorgeous
thanks, Jack!
"The latch needs attention". Meaning, the chrome finish or the mechanism, i.e. spring or metal wear? I love the fit and finish of New England Hinckley's but the common lack of a chart table is a deal killer, this one fixes that, even the galley looked nice. And the slope to the back of the settees, another win, without...deal killer. Well done boys.
Hank did it we just shot it but thank you for watching
Thanks guys!
Captain is rocking an awesome beard.
Sea trial went well with Sean Tarpey, owner, at the helm, and Chris Avallone, surveyor. It was a beautiful spring day in Maine on the Saco River -- Very memorable with pines and flowering deciduous trees lining the river, eagles flying overhead, and a young seal sunny on a rock. I look forward to returning in a couple of weeks to close the sale.
What a treat for you that River is lovely the motor up and down and at one point you feel like you’re lost in the woods almost. I think you will enjoy this boat in. Feel free to drop us a line if you’re in the area and I’ll stop down and say hello it’s only about 6 miles away from my home. By the way I did ask Sean where he rented the Eagles and the baby seal. Those are great sales tools
My wife and I are here in Biddeford and leaving Thursday around noon. We're cleaning, organizing, and planning what we will do with the boat, as far as repairs, updates, and improvements. Please come over if you have time.
Always amazed at how great a can of heated up Dinty Moore savors in the cockpit after a day of sailing versus eating it ashore where I compare it to how I imagine a can of Alpo would taste.
a little deprivation plus a little salt air = special magic
@@YachtHunters Hah! I learned this eating my first powdered mashed potatoes and green peas camping with my childhood friend and his Naval fighter pilot dad, on a piece of the Maine coast his grandpa had picked up while out at sea during the war...gambling no doubt. Yum!
Another wonderful tour!
2:12 The view shows looking West from the San Francisco Bay towards the Golden Gate Bridge. Beyond that is the Pacific Ocean.
let's gooooooo!!! Hawaii beckons!!!
@@YachtHunters 2,500 miles. You'll be there in 3 weeks. 80-85 degree F days and 10 degrees cooler at night when you arrive.
@@YachtHunters I'm terrified of Sea Sickness in Ocean Swells and don't want to experiment with it.
Seasickness at first you are so sick you are afraid you will die, and then you are so sick you are afraid you won't die. Mark Twain.
At 4:2.0… we call that a ‘Garboard plug’ It’s a drain hole for winter storage, it keeps the hull from filling with rainwater and snow,
Without the bar board plug any accumulated water might build up, and even freeze and damage the hull and floorboards…
More of randays boat please!
One of your best discoverys to date ...love it ...
Given asking price it would certainly seem so.
Very well presented. Thank you for the post.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great boat and the low draft is amazing. I did see the year it was built. It does look in very good condition. Sails where not mentioned.
Love these boats! If you ever get the chance you should check out the OC 52! In many ways these are actually better than the Hinckley B40. Hank spare nothing in her construction and the Airex foam makes for great insulation and sound deadening. I don't think Hank made more than 2 or three of these before he built the 42 making them quite rare.
Bristol OC, And great price!❤
the head layout should have the lav shifted port into corner thus providing ample space for a designated shower area. also i would modify nav desk to have a slight slant.
some solid ideas.... bring your sawsall ;)
Captain Q you know if you get this one you will need new pants and suspenders. You also might have to race Ran-Day. You need to go for it.. Fair Winds and Following Seas from the crew of Sv Celtic Lady Seawind II 68 Ketch.
Oh my. 😱 Beautiful boat.
Glorious headroom.
Of course all that varnish is also a LOT of work. You should have commented that the glass bowl Racor in the engine compartment violates ABYC standards. Should be metal bowl because of heat and fire danger. Still, I love your series.
outstanding point... thanks, Terence
18:55 "... and a nice, nice, nice AC/DC control centre here..." I'm totally thunderstruck...😁
is that good ?
@@YachtHunters yeah, that's where I'll need to sit when I'm on the highway to hell...😁
Can you make a video of how hulls and decks are manufactured? What's good/bad etc.
great idea... we have a few things in the works but they are for later this spring
@@YachtHunters I'm assuming Balsa Wood is not used in fiberglass sandwich construction anymore because if there is water intrusion, it gets wet and rots. Replaced by Marine Grade Blue Foam Insulation?
I am looking your videos (from Germany) since the 1 day - this one is for me the best yacht you introduced to us. Everything under and above deck is where i would expect it to be. Unfortunately i am (as someone below wrote) at the wrong place and time - i am 2 years older than the Captain.
Two Remarks: on almost every boat that you discussed the body painting was too thick (too many layers) and had some areas, where the layers flaked off. For me this would be the first thing to eliminate - as long as the sails and rigging is pulling me forward and the engine is pushing me. Whats your opinion?
You mention that some carbon-blasting would be necessary. Could you please describe this occasionally? I suppose that it is something similar to sand-blasting, but with deepfrozen carbon dioxide?
Thanks for watching and being an early adopter! We talk about Soda Blasting {sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)} mostly as the method to remove all the paint back to the fiberglass... it's relatively inexpensive and effective at getting the paint off. We've heard cost estimates of around $2000. USD for a mid-sized boat to come in and soda blast the bottom. We think it's well worth the investment to bring it back to the base layer and build it back up nice and smooth. We hope to show this in detail in a video sometime soon. thanks for the suggestion!!
@@YachtHunters After a soda blasting, what do you think of copper coating vs the standard bottom paint job.?
Beard looks great Captain! Thank you guys!
Thank you too!
I have a question about the how is done the inspection of keel bolts and centerboard encasement and system in this type of sailboats. As always thank you for your awesome program.
My only problem with this gorgeous vessel is she's available now and I don't quite have all my ducks in a row just yet.
That and I think the Captain may just snag her first...
Contact the seller. You never know how they might help you with your ducks ! Thank you for watching
Thanks for the reply
Lovely lovely boat but more importantly, love the beard! Really suits you skipper.
damn now i have to start again ...hahaha
Nice camera work Ran Day!
I thought maybe she would get an extra point for being hull #1. It is a really, really nice boat but you know I can't buy one. Keep the good stuff coming Captain.
Lots of good details on this one. 👌
another great show tks keep up the good work
Wow! Navigation table point!
Great boat. Great episode.
Great post my friends 🌞🌴⛵
Thank YOU Gef stay r tuned and thank you for subscribing
This one is a real winner.
That's craftsmanship you will not see in modern boats
Nice boat Captain Q
That is a very very unique little ship. She deserved an extra point or two for "good measure". Get to the bank QUICKLY captain.....
Ok … here’s 3 more points ! Thank you
Not a sailboat owner but whenever I see these V berths and the single berths near the chart table I think there should be a grab bar to lift your torso and slide your legs in sort of like the bars we had above the top rack in Navy berthing. The more time that passes the better a nice Westpac sounds, even a little counter narcotics cruise to Columbia would do. I just would not want to deal with the way some officers treat enlisted like children. That BS got old fast and kills morale. I do miss being at sea, watching the dolphins, the clear night skies, and the conversations that we would have on the long night watch. Time and distance makes everything look better.
I'm happy you have those old memories, they do indeed age well.
Thank you as always 😄
Ditto
John Lennon sailed a Hinckley 40 to Bermuda, may have been the B model, He was the only one onboard not seasick, that could take over when the captain, could no longer stay awake. Singing sea shanties and composed some greats just after,
Highly doubt the Coneys family crew members who sailed John Lennon to Bermuda were ever mal de mer. They do remember John have a blast in the rough Gulf Stream crossing with his guitar down below singing “We are in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine….”
I would score this boat no less then 21, and then add more for the price. Could be a 30 over all.
WOOT! you guys remembered!
yes Sir !! sometimes though that's not always the case lol
Man I absolutely love your show. Loved the Cape Dory 33, the block island 40, even the wooden gaff cutter you saw in the snow ❄️. Keep up the fabulous job. Given that budget, time, and preference keeps me looking at the smaller end (25-35’ ish) would love to see more boats like that. Also - speaking of small boats have you got ANY idea what make/model the gorgeous light blue sloop is in your opening credits? Second harbour shot & she’s just a very pretty boat. I was wondering maybe older cheoy Lee or vintage Pearson? Would love your guess as it’s likely to be more accurate than my own 🙂. Many thx in advance.
If it’s from out earlier episode intro it’s likely an Alberg 30 in Georgetown, Maine
how do you maintain a centerboard? do you need to dismount it when you haul the boat? does it need antifouling?
Yes to anti fouling, no to dismount, as seen here.
great boat. I really like this one.
a great value for a great boat
Wow , you've done it again Captain, what a beautiful yacht, what an awesome price just gorgeous...Only thing is where would I anchor this baby? Would be a nice problem to sort out...One day Captain ..one day..like the beard too old mate.
why anchor just keep moving
Hers a question. Why is the standing headroom on sailboats so low? Is it a center of gravity thing? Is it a so you can see where your going thing? Something else? Although i noticed you could stand up in that one.
Yes yes yes and yes
Even though you spend probably less than 10% of your time below deck standing up, designers always try to give at least 6+ or minus feet of headroom in a boat. There are a few people who will need more headroom but overall that is a good starting point. In the older boats with deep keels that were integral to the hall the headroom measurement started somewhere below the waterline. As the Bilges got flatter the architects had to raise the sides of the boats to get headroom without having an offensively large Cabin top.
Keeping weight low on a boat is extremely important aspect of understanding the stability of a boat. The lower the center the greater ability of the boat to stand up to heavier wind and carry more sale for speed etc. it is very nice to be able to stand up below especially for cruisers but rarely do you find headroom in about less than 25 feet long. There are exceptions. There also is the aesthetic aspect of design to consider which goes to our soul as much as anything else. Very important
like your vids. looking to retire and your channel got my interest. good job capt. Q
It’s interesting to compare modern hull shapes with this boat. Sitting behind the helm it looks like you’re in a canoe compared to the aft beam on modern boats. Still, a lovely boat.
He said he was "snug" or something, like it's great for a sailor like himself, but as a "dock queen" not so comfortable.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a GREAT your of a GREAT boat.
tour
@@catspaw3815 Thanks
@@mikemoxley9477 tou're welcome!
Fantastic boat
If it was in australia I would buy it
Great stuff
A New England classic Downunder would be priceless.
worth a little sail maybe ?
Hey Cap, really nice boat love Hinckleys of any gestation. Quick question, could you be on the lookout for a McCourdy and Rhodes Navy 48. I would love to see a review of this really handsome vessel.
Thanks
