I've been a regular viewer for two years and I've never seen this boat. It's a real beauty!
B-40 is the gold standard of classic sailboats. Love your delivery and appreciate your knowledge of the boats. Thanks Captain Q!
Our pleasure!
You do the best walk-threw of anybody online. Thanks Captain.
Thank you!
Wow. I bet that couple have some stories to tell!!
I started watching your videos a few days ago . They are awesome !!!So different and uniquely done ...Please don't change a thing ! There is no replacement for listening to boat reviews through eyes of experience , passion and openness ! Reminiscing through the passion of sail with you two is the bomb ( that means very good !!! :-) ) Keep the videos coming ....and a massive Thank You for sharing the passion you have acquired over the years !!! I love having you two on my side !
that was a little overwhelming i plan to print that out and frame it !! seriously thank you for your kindness
@@YachtHunters Hahahahaha That response to someones comment gave me a much needed smile..
Uh, he’s a salesman…
@@dboboc Amazing comment from a guy who's only TH-cam post is an ad for a disco light system, lol.
“I feel like I should salute the ensign” 😂 oh to give up this land life and take off on one of these!!! Love the approach the couple took - simplicity in the systems. You’re going out to sea after all, no need to drag on every luxury of life onboard! Thanks for this.
You know your stuff captain. Keep up the reviews - I can't get enough!
Thanks Jason , will do!
My first time on a sail boat was a Bermuda 40 in 1976 in Newport to see the Tall Ships….what an experience!
My family used to visit Maine and Mount Desert Island quite often. The Hinckley yard was a mythical place on the beautiful Island. The B40, as a young child, clearly a special boat. Truly an example of perfection. Glad you were able to feature thus boat, despite never owning one, seeing it nonetheless brings back fond memories from those trips. A jewel.
I really love these videos. They are so well done. Very professional. I love Captain Q and how knowledgeable he is. And finally, I love how you talk about the price. Stay safe!
Loving this channel. I think you've discovered a much appreciated niche.
Glad you enjoy it! we are having a lot of fun thank you
Ah ha! It’s not pink or salmon. It’s Nantucket red :-) :-) :-) Myself, I’m happy to see the stuffy hats and jackets go. I like the pants, though. I predict CQ will resurrect a fashion trend. Pink is the new white. Thick cardigan sweaters are timeless. I like the boat too. Handsome :-) :-) :-)
Thsnks Chris
Great set of videos and its good to hear your detailed professional narration Capt Q...some amazing bargins in America.
Thanks for the kind words! Welcome aboard!
Just found your channel, love it.
You guys are a great duo. Talent and time is being wasted -pitch your show to a TV company or HULU or ROKU or something!
martin and Lewis ...abbott and costello ....Laurel and hardy ::
the Viper and the Diva lol thank you
Well, the B40 is the phantasy (edit: should read "fantasy") sailboat that we draw, or try to. A shame they no longer build sailboats, but business is business. One thing I have heard about Hinkley boats is a lack of tankage, true? Also, could you interview the owners, of this boat in particular, for a future vlog? Love, the channel (love it) by the way, great camera and mic work, very enjoyable.
Wife and I live aboard a Bill Tripp designed Pearson Invicta yawl. Loved this video of the Bermuda 40 as we share the similar lines of this boat as well as the Block Island 40.
Superbly maintained.
Thanks again Captain.
Couldn't agree more!!
Thanks for the information contained in a Dark blue background.. much easier to read !
I love that dingy under the yacht at the start of the video.
the Dyers are lovely!
Love your experience, yes im in the market for a boat...im keeping a close eye on your shows
Check out those smart Captain Q socks. I still get mine from M&S. Well socked sir!
Love your videos! Good boat picks, especially this one. Bill Tripp, Jr., would be 100 years old this year. He was killed in a car crash 50 years ago next year when he was 51. He was one of the greatest yacht designers of all time. His son, Bill Tripp, III, designed the Bermuda 50 for Hinkley a few years ago. Good luck finding one of those for less than $1.5 million.
Anyway, keep up the great work and give us more Tripp boats.
We've had 3 Tripp designs in the family loved them all I have a million stories about my last one a 52' yawl by Lecomte..
Not enough room or time here to get into full blown love affair discussion Glad to know their are still advocates out there thanks for your note
look for a Tripp designed Javelin 38 built at Van Lent and Zonen yard in Netherlands, ours is #9 been in the family since 1965
this should be a series!!!!
Dum and Dumber Go To Sea lol
Another absolutely beautiful boat. I must say Captain Q , you do find the best boats around
I grew up sailing on my dads 36' Hinkley yawl, I'm not sure of the year but she was all wooden, and had a built on centerboard and a tiller. When she was based on the Great Lakes her owner was a fabulous racing skipper, and she had many trophies and wins (Mackinac?). After dad bought her in about 1965, we sailed the waters off Southern California for many years, and when racing (?) her handicap was so high she won several races. Great memories.
Lovely memories… thanks for sharing… sounds just wonderful
I ran a B40 in the '90s and sailed without an engine most days. It sailed backwards off moorings better than any boat. Never swung at anchor with the mizzen up. Nice vid- thanks for the memories.
they aren't a classic holding their value for no reason...sweet sailor
Beautiful vessel. I always believed B40's were designed before women were allowed to have a say in how it should be done.
@@hughchamberlain5018 Touché Hugh.
A breath-taking beauty!
You guys make such an amazing team!
Thank you for ALL of your wonderful work!
Man, I love Thursdays!
Any asking price would be worth it just for the pedigree. Rounding the Horn should demand a 100% premium.
Hood/Maas & Anything Hinckley. I like your tastes in yachts!
This channel needs more subscribers
That’s a delightful thought thanks
It would be great if you could interview them
Couldn’t agree more. LOVE THIS IDEA! We’re going to see if we can make it happen
I second that
Great idea for episode.
Another Great Video!!!!
Beautiful boat. Amazing that they lived on it for 10 years without refrigeration or a generator. Must have eaten out a lot, lol.
Fresh fish
Hi Capt, like Stew below I have only found your videos very recently, I really love your style.Please do not change anything . Good Luck stay safe.. Reg
WOW what a beautiful boat!
a real thrill to be aboard one even more fun if they are in the water lol
Great videos, Guys! I love the knowledge, love of sailing, and banter between you two. Have you considered a Captain Q clothing line complete with the trademark red & green suspenders held in place with some nice shippy knots? Does Captain Q own a winter coat? How many top layers can he tuck into those pants?
Wowza! That's the dream, but I'm not ready yet. :( Maybe it'll still be available in a few years. lol
Great channel..thank you and your presentation is superb!
What a beautiful piece of history , as I said before your style and knowledge is quite enjoyable.... can't wait to see more. 40-50 ft center cockpits please...1980--2000...
Thanks for the kind words!! Those are high on our list -- if you haven't seen Ep 11, you'll be pleased with the Scheel 45' Center cockpit. We've got some good 40-50'ers in the pipeline that we've toured and are now editing(although not center cockpit).... so stay tuned!! Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of boating knowledge. Keep up the good work.
Great videos! Keep them coming!
Thanks, Luke!!
Captain Q dropping bombs
nice boat
Great video and great boat. One correction though. Finisterre was not a Hinckley. Finisterre was designed by Olin Stephens and built out of wood by Seth Perrson.
sailboatdata.com/sailboat/finisterre-ss
Finisterre was a 38' wooden centerboarder designed by S&S. She was built not by Hinckley but by Seth Perrson in 1954. The Bermuda 40 by Hinckley came along in 1959, 5 years later.
I Really enjoy your videos! Your knowledge and the style of boats you pick and tour⛵️👍
Nice boat 👍👍👍
Great stuff Captain Q what a find
Pretty boat but seems awfully narrow inside! Love to hear about them though! Enjoy the time and effort you put in showing us boats we might not otherwise see.
Love Arunas and Dimidova.
i love to dance with a good orchestra (lester Lanin my old favorite ) but this couple swoooops too much for me and they are going to have back problems in a few years i think thanks
very impressive travel log
Pretty tough to top that one, right? 😄
Can you put a section in there for updates on which are sold and not? I'm a dreamer...
Love you videos! Keep them up. Are you planing on also doing Catamarans as well? Would love to see some.
YES!! We've been hunting for Cats here in New England but they aren't as easy to find!! We have it high up on our list though! Cheers!
Great video
The designer‘s name was William Tripp Jr. (not Sr.), and he wasn’t the guy you were zooming in on on that photograph 😂 Other than that, nice video 👍🏻
Thank you Hubertus, you are absolutely right and thanks for the correction. Sometimes we get a little bleary-eyed and forget that 2nd cup of coffee when editing. Cheers and we love the helpful feedback!
Great boat!
We think this was an amazing journey and are hoping to interview this couple soon and nothing like spending a little time in a Bermuda 40 no?
Great video. I owned and sailed hull #139 for four years and she was a lovely boat. Wish I could claim the miles and places the owners of this boat did.
It’s fantastic and inspiration to us all! You are fortunate to have had such a beauty!
My first sailing experience was on a B-40 yawl. Immediately fell in love with sailing! Now on my third sailboat and hoping for a fourth. The downside to the B-40 is that is TINY inside.
But...it’s a Hinkley!
Neat boat
She kind of reminds me of a Peterson 35 but really fancy
not certain of the comparison ?
WOW, I would have given her a 24, but docked 2 points for the heater placement, for 22. She does look prefect.
PS, my shoe size is 17 5E, so heater would have to be moved.
She was beautiful but that heater would take you from a 17 to an 11 in short order
@@YachtHunters Didn't say remove the heater, just move it so I wouldn't trip and fall over it, my shoes almost come up to Ran Days hip if you stand them on end.
Might have to do this on my channal tell i buy my new boat wherever it may be
I want so badly want to buy a Hinckley and sail the Caribbean . The wife wants a 70ft Hatteras. Motoryachts just aren't the same.
Time to put your foot down ……
Buy the Hatteras
And charter a Hinckley
-:)
@@YachtHunters Good advice. Happy wife, happy life.
Huh... never knew the ballast was external on a B40, what an odd choice for that hull shape. Wondering how difficult it is to get to those keel bolts. They must be quite deep down in the bilge!
Same thought. I always feel uncertain when hearing about bolt on keels.
Six point socket w/extension on your torque wrench are typically easy to access. I think they’re supposed to be inspected and the Torque checked annually
Beautiful boat, but I wouldn't choose her over my Shannon 38. There are just a few things I like better on my Shannon.
Rocking and Rolling?!?! And I was just starting to like you Capt.
?
Helped to deliver a 1964 B40 from New Bedfed ( actually Fa’haven) to Seal Hahbah ME back in the day. It was fun trip on a gorgeous boat. The only other fohty foot yawl that I would prefer ovah the B40 would be the Concordia 39. Ray Hunt and Waldo Howland did a great job with that vessel, prettiest lines evah. Hey Capt’n Q, if you like sailing adventure, you might want to check out my book on Amazon, “ The Best Way Out, A South American Odyssey” Los of history, sailing and adventure
I just did ! Sounds interesting thanks for recomendation
@@YachtHunters
Hope you enjoy it, thanks!
How would you removed the prop shaft if you had to?
60 thousand tops.
please contact the broker listed below under the "show more" spot Let her know.
and good luck
I would like more information…
Regards
I'm curious as far as price on the beauty?
I believe the asking price is $89,500 - the least expensive B40 currently on the market. Give the broker a call - www.grayandgrayyachts.com/
Wish I was in the market, I would buy this in a minute and slip the lines.
She's a pretty one.... with an amazing history! Cheers
Yes please. Who should I make out the check for $39,000 for? ;-)
too late mate shes gone but stay tuned
Hi , You have nailed it with your channel ,a well sailed gent with a passion for good sail boats at a very reasonable price ,is there tax to pay on top ? Asking as I,M in the UK .Take care stay safe .
Thank YOU... i have never explored that tax issue for a foreign buyer i will look into it thank you for your kind thought
@@YachtHunters Thanks you when times are better it may help any one from this side of the pond and as there all pre E U certificate could any one sail it back to an EU area .
I'd love to own her.
Went to the selling broker’s website and it appears they no longer have the listing. Do you have the owner’s contact information? Thank you.
It's nagging when you see a beautiful boat that you can't put a name on, like from a movie, or in this case a series (The Terminal List). It had the lines of a Hinckley but the superstructure doesn't fit -until i've seen the picture here (1:16). Looking at the model lineup that's not the Pilot, so which is it?
The guesses were Pilot, Sou’wester and Bermuda 40… so it seems like you were asking about the Sou’wester?
@@YachtHunters Thank you for the reply, but as far as I can see none of those models seem to fit the picture at the 1:16 mark. It is a very similar hull but either the wood-sided cabin top or the porthole model (all 4 rectangle portholes with two of them forward of the mast) doesn't show up on those models. The SOU'WESTER SR. 38 does come closest, but that's a yawl instead of a sloop like the one in the picture. Maybe if there was a sloop version the mast would sit slightly more aft and then everything fits with the picture. or maybe it's not a Hinckley in name, but something closely related?
So my dream has been to learn how to sail and have a live aboard sailboat but I want something that I can really use to go anywhere in the world. This definitely looks like one of those boats. My question is how stupid is it for somebody to buy a sailboat and learn how to Sail that specific boat. I think at this in a way of motorcycles everybody says don’t start on 1000 cc bike start on a small bike. I would invite any comments or thoughts.
Great comparison to a 1000cc bike. You can do that and many people do… it all depends on your comfort level and confidence. We often tell people to start on something smaller to learn the basics as all the same principles apply… it also has smaller forces and needs less crew if the first boat is on the smaller side. You can certainly go out and buy and succeed with a larger world cruiser… but maybe easier and more enjoyable to start with something more modest and manageable
@@YachtHunters I am humbled I absolutely appreciate your insight and your years of experience. My exuberance and inexperience with a lot of my adventures, has had the effect of making me quite resourceful lol God bless and be safe thank you so much I absolutely enjoy your content!
Do you ever show catamarans
They are high up on our list to review but we don't have a big supply of them on the used market here in New England.... Thanks
this boat is a buy. there is no line that shouldnt be crossed when refitting her.
right on
No refrigeration, no generator, or water maker , it would be a good live aboard.
Cost ?
Her name is Finisterre, not "Finistere."
A Bermuda 40 for under 100k.....buy it before they wake up.
Agreed - very inexpensive for a Hinckley of this caliber!
Sleep your head forward. Thanx
Always!
Lately I have been watching "Chasing Lattitudes" channel.
If you are not familiar with it, it is a very well done, informative channel, but, I think it is best described as the anti-CQ channel.
The owner of the channel is very practical. He has a formula for buying budget sailboats. This formula is no more than 20 years old and NEVER, EVER buy a boat with big overhangs.
His rationale is that you pay for total length, but you use waterline length. He says this is dumb and perhaps he is right. It makes no economic sense to pay for 40 ft but only use 28 ft.
As I watched this review of this prime example of boat porn, I said to myself, "self, that dude is right. This thing is teeny-tiny inside. It is a terrible use of space."
But then I said to that practical side of me, "who cares?", this thing is drop dead gorgeous and if you do decide you want to wander the southern ocean, would you rather do it in a fast, light, spacious Oceanis where I suspect you'd feel like you were inside a dryer or this gorgeous, cozy, heavy, rock solid masterpiece?
Pretty sure I would be happier bringing along less stuff and being comfy.
Not saying that that dude is wrong. He is right about everything he says and you'll be happier anchored in a cove or in a marina in the Bahamas, but if bluewater sailing is your thing and you don't need to bring along lots of stuff, there is nothing better than the B40.
Stand by ….
@@YachtHunters aye aye, Captain.
Great videos guys, you don’t need the silly video inserts, very annoying and takes away from the commentary which is excellent and so is the camera work. ⛵️
Noted!
Sorry but we need a laugh on this end as well and ran Day would be hurt if i suggested he stop I am sorry but stay with us maybe you will get used to them happy new year
Seems like a HUGE WASTE OF SPACE from the cabin entrance back! No thanks!!
