CHIMERA represents an ideal combination of world-renowned craftsmanship from the Hinckley Company and the handsome lines and proven design characteristics from the board of John G. Alden Yacht Design. Upon stepping aboard, one will immediately be impressed with the attention to detail throughout and the pure beauty of her interior carpentry that boasts solid cherry raised-panel details on every surface. Her extensive equipment list is also second to none, including carbon rigs, hydraulic furling main, genoa and staysail, hydraulic winches, retractable bow thruster, air, generator, heater, water maker and much more.  Having just completed a major refit including all new rig, paint, teak decks, fabrics and canvas, CHIMERA is shining with pedigree and is without a doubt the finest yacht available in this size range.

CHIMERA sleeps five in three private staterooms, plus two in the main salon. The interior joiner work is beautifully finished high-gloss American cherry with solid raised-panel locker, drawer and door fronts, as well as all vertical flat surfaces. Overheads are white tongue-and-groove panels with laminated deck beams, while cabin soles are all high-gloss solid teak and holly. Interior fabrics all new 2015.

The owner's cabin forward features a double berth to starboard, while to port is a built-in chair with ottoman, mirrored vanity and large cedar-lined hanging locker. There are also multiple drawers under the berth, a bureau to starboard and numerous lockers and book shelves outboard each side. A large deck hatch, four opening portholes and two dorade vents provide great light and ventilation.

A U-shaped galley is to starboard and aft of the salon with a layout that is both functional and attractive. The galley is large by any standard with generous countertop area, extensive storage space and vertical refrigerator door for easy access. Other features include:

The hull and deck were laminated using the SCRIMP resin infusion process, creating a hull lamination that is completely uniform in the resin-to-fiber ratio, as well as complete adhesion of the balsa core material to the inner and outer skins. The SCRIMP process results in an extremely strong hull and deck structure. There are two watertight bulkheads – one forward of master head, and one at the aft end of master stateroom. The rudder and stock are carbon fiber, while centerboard is fiberglass with hydraulic lift arm. CHIMERA has a minimum draft of 6’6” with centerboard up and a maximum draft of 11’8” with board down.
