    I presume we are talking about the larger of the two yachts?

    I'd place the hull design in the mid 1960's. Any idea where and when this 'photo was taken, or where she was registered?

    Yes i know that we were talking about the larger of the two vessels but it is just that i was interested in the tender like vessel, so i asked if she is a Hinckley, she looks so?

    I don't think so...

    IMHO, Looking at the windshield and the cabin trunk, I would guess that it is not a Hinckley. She also seems a little more beamy than a Hinckley. Unfortunately I can only tell you what I think it's not, and not what I think it is.

    Hi, The small boat in the foreground is not a Hinckley, it is a TOY 36, by Toy Marine - Italy.

    Nice picnic boat …. Well in the pictures anyway.

    I have seen a grey hulled TOY 36 as a tender to a maxi yacht in Palma de Mallorca.

    It is indeed Ed's unfinished symphony.
    I have been on finished yachts that have made less of an impression compared to this bare beast. It is simply a thrilling design. The almost perfect sailingyacht!

    It's distinctly Dubois... :) Just a few feet shorter than the very beautiful Destination Fox Harb'r.

    It's actually "Our blue dream"'s abandoned sister.
    As we all know from soap operas, abandoned sisters always come back with a vengence:D
