I had a spectacular sail this morning from the Rhode River to the National Sailing Hall of Fame Docks as guest aboard "Bramare", Al Boersma's 1964 Yawl. We had about fourteen to sixteen knots of breeze out of the NE and smooth water. This good old boat can flat out sail upwind in part due to a nice fresh suit of North Sails....The B40's are celebrating their fiftieth birthday with a Chesapeake Cruise and are happy to have the first and most recently built boats in attendance.
The Hinckley name carries so much cache in the world of boats that preceptions develop about the owners of these classic yachts. No doubt there is a minority that may be motivated to own a Hinckley simply for bragging rights? I have developed a completely different viewpoint, that there are a number of owners who are still sailing their beloved boats actively and even hard, including a Chesapeake couple who are completing a circumnavigation....
Great day on a great boat!
