CUSTOM PERFORMANCE SAILS FOR HINCKLEY BOATS

Hinckley Yachts Sails by North Sails

Few names carry the prestige of Hinckley. For decades the American yard has built some of the most admired yachts on the water, from the classic Bermuda 40 yawl to the elegant Sou'wester line, boats prized as much for their craftsmanship as for the way they sail. Many are lovingly maintained classics, no longer in production but still turning heads, and a well-cut suit of sails is the surest way to keep one performing as it should.


North Sails has a long history with boats of exactly this kind. We build each Hinckley mainsail, Hinckley headsail, and Hinckley spinnaker to the known specifications of your model, including the full set for a yawl rig, with the mizzen designed to balance the boat properly. Being out of production is no obstacle, since we work to your exact rig and your local loft can confirm any measurements.

Shaped for your specific Hinckley, your sails restore the balance, drive, and good manners these yachts are famous for. Built from quality materials and backed by expert service, your Hinckley sails honour the boat and keep it sailing beautifully.

HINCKLEY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A:

Cost comes down to the boat and the sails it needs, so we price every Hinckley inventory individually. A new Hinckley mainsail for a Bermuda 40 is a very different figure from a full wardrobe for a larger yacht, and many classics need only a sail or two to come alive again. Tell us whether you want to buy Hinckley sails as a single replacement or order new Hinckley sails throughout, and we will work to your exact model and rig. Begin with a Hinckley sail quote.

A:

Yes, and we do it often. A boat being out of production is no obstacle, because we build to your exact model and rig rather than relying on the original builder. For many classic Hinckleys we already hold the key dimensions, and where records are thin your local loft can measure the boat in person. Your classic is in good hands.

A:

Yes. The yawl rig is part of what makes a Hinckley like the Bermuda 40 so distinctive, and we build the complete set for it: mainsail, headsails, mizzen, and the downwind sails that suit the rig. Designing them together keeps the boat properly balanced, so the mizzen earns its keep and the whole plan works as one rather than as separate sails.

A:

It depends on how you sail her and the look you want. Many classic Hinckley owners prefer the traditional appearance and proven durability of woven Dacron, which suits these boats well. If you want better shape-holding without losing that classic feel, a cruising laminate is a considered step up. The sail material guide explains the options, or talk it through with your local loft.

A:

Noticeably. Older sails stretch and lose their shape, which makes a boat heel more, point lower, and feel heavier on the helm. A fresh, correctly shaped main and headsail restore drive and balance, so a classic Hinckley often feels livelier, points higher, and is simply more rewarding to sail, while still looking every bit the classic she is.
