Hinckley 38
6 / 26 - score 58%
The Hinckley 38 is a 37.5ft masthead sloop designed by Sparkman & Stephens and built in fiberglass by Hughes Boat Works between 1968 and 1970.
28 units have been built.
The Hinckley 38 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. It is very stable / stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
