1972 HINCKLEY Bermuda 40 ‘WINDSWEPT’

The Hinckley Bermuda 40, crafted by the renowned William Tripp, Jr., stands as a quintessential American masterpiece. With her graceful contours, gleaming varnish, and exquisite polished stainless steel accents, this vessel has captivated sailors since the debut of hull #1 in 1960. Over 200 B-40s were constructed from 1960 to 1991, and WINDSWEPT exemplifies one of the most distinguished and recognizable yachts ever created. Boasting a draft of 4' 9" with the centerboard raised and 9' 3" when lowered, the B-40 is capable of navigating a multitude of waters. Whether gliding through the Chesapeake Bay or tackling offshore adventures with the board down, sails reefed, and a brisk 25-knot wind, she thrives in every setting.
