Hinckley DS 42

DESIGN GOALS

"SEA SUITE" was built with simplicity in mind.  Every effort was made to redefine "ease of sail-handling" with both her mainsail and roller-furling headsail.  Not only is her mainsail in-boom furling, but the controls for hoisting and dropping the sail are via buttons on the cockpit seatback.  Her main sheet is led to a captive reel winch under the cockpit, allowing the helmsman complete access to sheeting in and out via toe switches on the teak cockpit sole.  All controls and electronics are easily accessible to the helmsman, allowing 6 guests to just sit back in the palatial cockpit and enjoy the ride. 

Designed by renowned naval architect Bruce King, the lines of the DS42 are breathtaking.  The curvature of her cockpit, overhangs at the bow and stern, custom stainless steel closed chocks make the DS42 stand out from other high caliber yachts. Quality, luxury, performance and exquisite craftsmanship coupled with her unique design and lines make the Hinckley DS 42 a pleasure to sail or just spend time aboard.

CONSTRUCTION

Like all modern Hinckley's the DS 42 was built using the DualGuard construction process.  A composite construction technique blending outer laminates of Kevlar and Eglass, balsa cores and inner layers of carbon fiber all vacuum bagged and resin-infused to create a hull of incredible strength, stiffness and impact resistance.
