Design 2571 - Preliminary Design of a Hinckley 54' Sloop

I don't recall the logic in designating this boat a 54'er, which is her length on deck, versus her overall length of 57' but there must have been some marketing guru involved. This preliminary design was prepared for the Hinckley Company of Maine but never came to fruition. The year was 1990.

Here is the general arrangement plan.

LOA 57'-3"
LWL 42'-9"
Beam 15'-6"
Draft 5'-11" (board up) 11'-2" (board down)

Ballast 17,000 lbs
Sail Area 1,544 sq ft
