The design is a development of the 1982 McCurdy & Rhodes designed Sou'wester 42/43.[1][2]
The design was originally marketed by the manufacturer as the Hinckley 43, but is now usually referred to as the Hinckley 43 (McCurdy & Rhodes) to differentiate it from the unrelated 1976 Hinckley 43 (Hood) and the 1979 Hinckley 43 (Hood)-2 designs.[1][2][5][6]
Production
editThe design was built by Hinckley Yachts in the United States, starting in 1990, but it is now out of production.[1][2][5][6]
Design
editThe Hinckley 43 (McCurdy & Rhodes) is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig; a raked stem; a raised counter, reverse transom; an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a wheel and a fixed fin keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 24,000 lb (10,886 kg) and carries 8,500 lb (3,856 kg) of lead ballast.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 9.10 ft (2.77 m) with the centerboard extended and 5.00 ft (1.52 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.[1][2]
The boat is fitted with a Westerbeke diesel engine of 46 hp (34 kW) for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds 115 U.S. gallons (440 L; 96 imp gal) and the fresh water tank has a capacity of 148 U.S. gallons (560 L; 123 imp gal).[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for six people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a U-shaped settee around a drop-down table and a straight settee berth in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a single berth on the starboard side. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is U-shaped and is equipped with a three-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. A navigation station is opposite the galley, on the starboard side. The head is located just aft of the bow cabin on the starboard side.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 7.49 kn (13.87 km/h).[2]
