Hinckley Yachts to Support Bermuda Race

The Bermuda Race Organizing Committee has named Hinckley Yachts as the Official Sponsor of the Captains Meeting before the June 20, site 2014 start of the next Bermuda Race.

In addition, as it has for the past several races, Hinckley Yachts will provide the on-water check-in boat and two other boats at the starting area for official observers.

Bermuda Race Organizing Committee Chairman Fred Deichmann, said: “We are very happy to welcome Hinckley Yachts back as a member of the sponsor family for the 49th usedport Bermuda Race.  We are grateful for Hinckley’s support for the Captains Meeting, where there will be an important last-minute briefing by our committee to sailors from every boat about the weather, the start and finish, and the rest of the race. We also thank Hinckley for once again providing three Hinckley-built boats at the start.”  

Founded in Maine in 1928 to build and care for boats for local lobstermen, the Hinckley Company pioneered in fiberglass construction in the early 1960s.
