HINCKLEY’S BERMUDA 50
The modern heir of the Bermuda 40 legacy
Announced to the public in fall 2013 with an anticipated launch this year, the Bermuda 50 is Hinckley‘s first new sailing yacht in almost ten years. The American shipyard worked with Tripp Design to create the contemporary descendant of the celebrated Bermuda 40.
Capturing the spirit and versatility of its predecessor, the Bermuda 50 is nonetheless slated to be a high-tech performance yacht with a Carbon Kevlar composite hull and carbon deck. Factor in an easy sailing rig and a lifting keel and you have yacht that can be handled by a couple or raced offshore. The yacht will come standard with three cabins, including a master cabin en suite, and will comfortably house of up to six people. We look forward to its launch later this year.
