Off Center Harbor's Remarks
As many of you know, Mount Desert Island is the home of the Hinckley Company which has been building fine sailboats for several generations. When fiberglass came into vogue, Hinckley mastered the ability to build first-class cruising/racing yachts in that material. Years later, when Tom Morris launched his own boatbuilding shop he was able to hire several key men who had learned their trade at Hinckley, and thus were able to build to the same high standards. The Linda seen in this listing is an example of this kind of quality, through-and-through.
