About the HINCKLEY 41

Design based on the OWENS CUTTER of 1946.

Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Hinckley 41 is a classic American cruising sloop designed by H. Hinckley III/Owens and built by Henry R. Hinckley & Co. in the USA from 1964–1969. While the exact number of hulls built is unknown, this model represents a significant era of Hinckley production known for robust construction and traditional aesthetics.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for experienced coastal cruisers and those seeking a classic, heavy-displacement vessel with ample interior volume, rather than high-performance racing or novice single-handers.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 18500.0 lb and a comfort ratio of 39.79, the Hinckley 41 is well-suited for offshore passages, offering a stable, motion-dampened ride typical of heavy-displacement fin-keel designs.
Comparables:
Comparable boats from this era include the Tartan 40 and O'Day 40, which share similar displacement and beam dimensions, though the Hinckley distinguishes itself with superior build quality and a more conservative, seakindly hull form.
