The Hinckley 38 is a sailboat that was designed by Sparkman & Stephens as a cruiser-racer and first built in 1968.[1][2][3][4]

The boat is a development of the Hughes 38-1 and, like that design and the Hughes 38-2, Hughes 38-3 and the North Star 38, is a version of Sparkman & Stephens' design number 1903.[1][2][5][6]

Production

The design's hulls were built by

Centralia, Ontario, Canada and then shipped to Hinckley Yachts in Southwest Harbor, Maine, where the deck was added and the boat finished. Production ran from 1968 to 1970 with at total of 28 boats completed.[1][2][7][8][9][10]

Design

The Hinckley 38 is a recreational

reverse transom; a skeg-mounted rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed, swept fin keel. It displaces 13,920 lb (6,314 kg) and carries 6,000 lb (2,722 kg) of ballast.[1][2]

The boat has a draft of 5.67 ft (1.73 m) with the standard keel and is fitted with an

inboard engine for docking and manoeuvring.[1][2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double

ice box and a sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the port side.[1][2]

For upwind sailing the design may be equipped with one of a series of jibs or genoas and for sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 7.03 kn (13.02 km/h).[2]
