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]
The design's hulls were built by Hughes Boat Works in 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]
