«We hope these boats will usher in a new era of refined performance,"»says Pete Saladino, Hinckley's chief marketing officer. Absolutely silent, unbelievably aesthetic, setting new standards. The star of the new generation of Hinckley boats is the all-electric Dasher, a vivid example of the encounter between design and technology.
The company also developed more advanced fiberglass construction techniques called Dual «Guard, which»resulted in a stronger hull. Having joined the new owners in 1997, Hinckley began building motor boats equipped with jet engines. Hinckley was the first American yacht builder to use SCRIMP (Zeeman composite resin injection molding) technology in its yachts. But Hinckley saw in the glass fibre what the traditionalists had missed: the opportunity to save weight by adding strength without sacrificing aesthetic beauty. In the 1950s, Hinckley was one of the first to give up bends and decks in favour of fibreglass - according to scientists, husbands who were completely unsuitable for building the right yacht. The special shape with its strong hull and wide deck lines, speed and endurance distinguish them from all others.Ĭompany founder Henry Hinckley, aviation engineer by training, has never been afraid of innovation. Their lines are the result of their need to withstand the rigors of life among the rocky coves and protruding promontories of the Acadian coast of Maine. There was something about the way they moved on the water - majestic, proud and graceful, they rocked their pennants in the harbour at dusk.
Even when all the boats were wooden, the ones made by Hinckley stood apart. The shipyard is known for its classic design and quality assembly. Hinckley has been manufacturing boats since 1928.
