Designed by William Tripp Jr. and built by the prestigious Henry R. Hinckley & Company beginning in 1971, this 40-foot masthead yawl represents classic American yacht design at its finest. The Bermuda 40 3 embodies the traditional Hinckley commitment to quality construction and timeless sailing characteristics that made the Maine builder legendary among discerning sailors. With her substantial 20,000-pound displacement and deep 8.60-foot draft, this yacht is built for serious offshore cruising and coastal exploration. The generous ballast-to-displacement ratio provides excellent stability, while the yawl rig offers versatility in sail handling and heavy weather options. Her moderate beam of 11.75 feet strikes an ideal balance between interior volume and sailing performance. The comfort ratio of 36.09 indicates a stiff, seakindly hull that will handle rough conditions with confidence, making her well-suited for extended passages and challenging offshore conditions. The capsize screening formula of 1.73 falls well within the acceptable range for ocean sailing, reflecting the conservative design philosophy that prioritizes safety and seaworthiness. Tripp's design emphasizes traditional sailing qualities over pure speed, creating a yacht that rewards skilled seamanship while providing the security and comfort expected from a premium American builder.
