The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hinckley 43, but is now usually referred to as the Hinckley 43 (Hood)-2 to differentiate it from the earlier 1976 Hinckley 43 (Hood) and the unrelated 1990 Hinckley 43 (McCurdy & Rhodes) design.[1][2][5][6][7][8]

Production

edit

The design was built by Hinckley Yachts in the United States, from 1979, but it is now out of production.[1][2][9][10]

The boat has a draft of 11.50 ft (3.51 m) with the centerboard extended and 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water. The boat is fitted with an inboard engine for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
