Hinckley YachtsHinckley Yachts was founded in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Hinckley produces a line of semi-custom, down-east style, lobster boats. The company was started in 1928 be Henry R. Hinckley producing mostly work boats. Hinckley has grown quite a bit since then, with yards in Southwest Harbor and Trenton, Maine, Rhode Island, Maryland, Georgia and Florida. Hinckley was a pioneer in the use of advanced composites, such as Kevlar. They were also one of the first yacht builders to adapt the resin infusion process known as SCRIMP, a process that results in more consistent laminations, as well as being less harmful to the environment. Their popular line of day boats feature modern planning hulls with available water jet propulsion systems. ***
