Dear Washington Winter Show Patrons, I am very pleased to server as Honorary Chairman of this year’s Show. I have long had a great interest in the Washington Winter Show beginning when my mother, Martha Lemon, co-founded its predecessor, the Washington Antiques Show in 1955. This year’s Show, Ports of Call, promises to be another example of the excellent work that the Show’s directors and many volunteers do in assembling outstanding dealers from around the country. Most importantly, the Washington Winter Show is dedicated to supporting local area charites that serve the needs of children and families in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. The Show’s success has enabled it to make significant contributions over the years. I know that this year’s Show will be another outstanding success and I am sure that you will enjoy it. Sincerely
James H. Lemon, Jr.

Dear Friends and Guests, As Honorary Diplomatic Chairs of the 2015 Washington Winter Show, my wife, Leila, and I are delighted to welcome you to “Ports of Call,” an evening of fine art and furnishings of our maritime and nautical history. We are also pleased to join with you in enjoying the collection and exhibit of the show, the success of which will benefit the Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys, THEARC Theater, and St. John’s Community Services; charities that strive to make a difference in the lives of our young people through education and the arts. It is our hope, and that of the organizers, that you will become acquainted with the missions of these entities and their work in our community. Barbados, like Washington D.C. is also know for its maritime and nautical history, as demonstrated by the annual Mount Cay Rum Round Barbados Race — now in its 27th year. We wish you an enjoyable evening, as we celebrate both craftsmanship and sportsmanship.
Sincerely,
John E. Beale Ambassador of Barbados to the United States

January 8, 2015 Dear Fellow Collectors: Welcome to the 2015 Washington Winter Show, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary and continues to be one of the top shows in the country to Ƥ d antiques, artifacts, Ƥ e art, and other collectibles. We all have our own reasons for collecting. For some it’s simply the beauty of the piece. For others it’s the value. And for many, like me, it’s about what the piece represents that’s more interesting than the object itself. What’s the story? During what era was it created? Who used it and for what purpose? That emotional connection with a piece of art is unique for everyone. One thing is clear: With the plethora of items available at the Washington Winter Show this weekend, you’re bound to uncover something that speaks to you. The theme of this year’s show, Ports of Call, celebrates both the history of life at sea and the leisure of aquatic sport. Organizers have put together a wonderful program and loan display featuring vessels of victory, including the America’s Cup. I urge you to participate in as many events as you can. As you enjoy yourself, please keep in mind that the proceeds from the Washington Winter Show help three of our region’s best charities – The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys, THEARC, and the Founders Board of St. John’s Community Services. These nonproƤts are making a sig Ƥ ant d ơerence in the lives of underserved families living in our community. As the presenting sponsor of the show and a company dedicated to strengthening and enriching the lives of those in our region, we are honored to support these charities’ tremendous work. Congratulations to the Washington Winter Show on its milestone anniversary, and kudos to all who have worked tirelessly to create what again promises to be an exceptional event. Enjoy!
Michael N. Harreld Regional President Greater Washington Area

Each year, our 45 antique and fine art exhibitors bring forth an outstanding array of antiques and fine art. It is because of your well-deserved reputations and commitment to exhibiting at the Washington Winter Show that we are able to draw thousands of new and loyal patrons to the Show year after year. Thank you for your continued support. Most importantly, we are both grateful to those who provide the leadership to the Washington Winter Show: the members of the Board of Directors and the Show’s Executive Director, Mr. Jonathan Willen, and the Show’s Mangers, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph DiSaia.

Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys A School of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington
By every measure, from reading and
math proficiency to school suspensions and high school graduation, African American boys lag behind their peers from other ethnic groups. Boys in large urban school districts tend to fare the worst. This well-documented “achievement gap� is grounded in the devastating impact of poverty and low expectations. The Bishop Walker School seeks to eliminate the achievement gap for our students by providing a stimulating and nurturing environment rich with positive role models and access to a wide array of learning opportunities. We provide the academic, emotional, spiritual and social supports our students need, while holding them accountable to the high standards we know they are capable of meeting. BWS opened in 2008 with a juniorkindergarten class and has grown annually through the addition of a new grade level. Now serving boys in junior-kindergarten through fifth grade, our vision is to continue to add one class per year through grade eight. As a tuition-free independent school, we rely on financial contributions and donated services. To make a gift, visit: www.bishopwalkerschool.org Your gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

THE FOUNDERS BOARD OF ST. JOHN’S COMMUNITY SERVICES (SJCS) serves as a historic connection to the past and an essential link to the future in the role of supporting children and adults with disabilities in Washington, DC. In 1868, the Ladies Guild of St. John's Episcopal Church, founded the agency to assist people in the aftermath of the Civil War. Today, THE FOUNDERS BOARD carries on the tradition by embodying the SJCS mission—advancing community support and opportunities for people living with disabilities—in the city of its founding. For over 145 years, members have remained dedicated to the children and adults in SJCS-DC programs through various fundraising activities. THE FOUNDERS BOARD is comprised of more than 90 active and sustaining members who are committed to assuring that children and adults with disabilities in the District of Columbia have the support they need to excel and become fully included members within their communities.

THEARC Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus Officially opened in 2005, the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC) is a $27 million, 110,000 square-foot world-class education, arts and recreation campus located east of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC’s Ward 8. THEARC was built by Building Bridges Across the River (BBAR), a nonprofit organization (founded by William C. Smith + Co.) formed to develop, construct and manage THEARC. Funding for building THEARC ($27 million) came entirely from charitable contributions by the Federal and District government, corporations, foundations and individuals. THEARC is a key part of a revitalization of the area known as East of the (Anacostia) River in Washington, DC. THEARC is a home away from home for many underserved children and adults of East of the River, enabling them to participate in dance classes, music instruction, fine arts, academics, continuing education, mentoring, tutoring, recreation, medical and dental care, and other services at a substantially reduced cost or no cost at all. In addition to a 365-seat community theater-the only theater of any kind east of the Anacostia River, THEARC includes a regulation size gymnasium, libraries, a computer lab, an art gallery, state-of-theart music and dance studios, and other first-rate facilities. Since its opening in October 2005, THEARC has already served thousands of residents of the surrounding southeast DC community. THEARC Theater is steadily booked for events such as community forums, film screenings, dance performances, commencement ceremonies, professional theater productions, concerts, master classes and fashion shows. THEARC brings together an array of comprehensive programs and services from eleven partner agencies, all of whom embrace the goal of improving the lives of children and adults living east of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC.

VESSELS of VICTORY by Leslie B. Jones I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it — we are going back from whence we came.1 It is with these inspiring words, presented by President John F. status as a desirable material for crafting objects of great importance. Kennedy (1961–63) at the 1962 America’s Cup Gala dinner in Central to this are awards created to celebrate victorious maritimeNewport, Rhode Island, that we gain a better understanding related events. Objects of silver have been presented to those who as to why we, as human beings, find ourselves innately linked successfully defend our nation in naval battles. Through these silver to the ocean.

Following the American Revolution (1775–83), Presidents beautifully interpreted in silver presentation and ceremonial George Washington (1789–97) and John Adams (1797–1801) objects.

He wears his Society of Cincinnati Eagle insignia. Decatur was made an honorary member of the New York State Society of the Cincinnati in 1813 in recognition of his heroic naval service. Several other heroes of the War of 1812 were also elected as honorary members: William Bainbridge, Isaac Hull and Thomas Macdonough. The category of honorary member was created in the Society’s original institution to recognize “men in the respective States eminent for their abilities and patriotism, whose views may be directed to the same laudable objects with those of the Cincinnati.” The New York Society’s honorary members of the early 19th century period received membership certificates (diplomas) that bore the signatures of George Washington and Henry Knox because the New York Society had a supply of signed blank certificates le over from the original generation of members.
coastal regions and protection of our growing trade throughout the world. The competition for supreme maritime power pitted the United States, France, England, and Spain against each other. For America this international contest resulted in combative hostility known as the Quasi-War with France (1798–1801). Dr. James Brown Scott, renowned authority on international law and diplomacy, remarked that the Quasi-War was an action to protect rights: [A] display of force by the United States… [which resulted] that the government had made
up its mind to conduct itself as an independent state and to insist upon and maintain its rights, even at the expense of a resort to force against the country with which it had been allied [France]… the United States demonstrated to the world that they were independent not merely in theory but in very fact.2 After the Revolution the United States abolished the American Navy, but it was not long before foreign powers began to harass and seize American merchant ships. Even before

the French Revolution (1798–1801) Great Britain and France became embroiled in a war for the control of Europe and both saw American merchant ships as fair game in the struggle. The Jay Treaty of 1795 initiated a shaky truce with Great Britain, but France continued to seize American ships — over 300 by the time John Adams was inaugurated President in March 1797. To defend against these attacks the United States established the Navy Department the next year and began building six new frigates in American navy yards including one here in Washington. These frigates averaged about 40 guns, smaller than ships-of-the-line, but able to outrun the larger and more powerful ships. The designs for these ships followed the French naval design model which mphasized speed and maneuverability. The British Navy favored a heavier more solid construction which could deliver more fire power. Men who grew up in towns along the coast, where shipbuilding flourished, often served on board vessels involved with coastal or transcontinental trade on merchant ships. They gained valuable

experience and joined our Navy which unlike the British Navy offered higher salaries and better conditions. The combination of treacherous waters and tyrannical enemies required dedication, bravery, and true patriotism; and many of the men who were captains of these vessels were presented with objects made of silver in recognition of these outstanding victories. Although France and the United States were allies during the American Revolution, the French Revolution (1787–99) severed the amicable international relationship. Numerous periods of anarchy within France and its colonies resulted in the United States and Great Britain partnering against France to protect their political and maritime interests. French ships were harassing, and capturing American and British merchant vessels. In September 1797 Constellation, the second frigate authorized by Congress, was launched in Baltimore. In her first cruise off the coast of the United States to protect American commerce she earned the nickname “Yankee Race Horse” for her speed. In December 1798 under the command of Captain Thomas

Truxton she sailed for the West Indies to protect our ships there. On February 9, 1799 she fought her first vicious sea battle when she encountered the French frigate Insurgente off Nevis. Despite slightly outnumbering Constellation in men and guns, Insurgente was defeated by the skillful tactical maneuvers directed by Captain Truxton and his crew.3 Insurgente was captured, its remaining crew imprisoned, and brought back to the United States. Captain Truxton was praised and thanked in various forms. The grandest token was a sterling silver trophy presented to him by a select group of insurance underwriters from Lloyd’s Coffee House in London, known today as Lloyd’s of London, “as a mark of the high sense they entertain of his gallant conduct… and protection to Commerce....” (Figure 1).4 Captain Truxton’s silver urn reflects the late 18th and early 19th-century Neo-Classical style, antiquarian in form and decoration. Produced by London silversmith John Robbins, the Truxton urn rests on a trumpet-shaped base, with an ovoid shaped body. It is flanked with two scrolling key-handles.
Chased foliage decoration surrounds the top of the urn, and each side has an oval medallion: the obverse contains images of Constellation and Insurgente engaged in battle. The reverse has the inscription: “Presented by the Underwriters and Merchants at Lloyd’s Coffee House in London to Captain Thomas Truxton of the American Frigate Constellation as a mark of their Sense of his Service and Admiration of his Gallant Conduct on taking the Insurgente French Frigate of 44 Guns — the West Indies in Feby 1799.” The urn’s lid, decorated with laurel leaves, mirrors the elements of the base, and is surmounted with the figure of Columbia holding a shield engraved with the United States seal. The form and decoration of silver objects produced in England and Western Europe influenced American silversmiths — the professionals who crafted these remarkable works. In the United States and abroad, proficient silversmiths were well-known and sought-after artisans, who had an intimate understanding of a complicated material. Silver objects produced in Europe were generally finished on a much grander

scale, with more intricate repoussé and chased ornament. American silversmiths copied these designs from books, examples found in fine art, and encounters with physical examples Generally American wares were more restrained and smaller in size than their European counterparts. When the War of 1812 (1812–15) was declared by President James Madison (1809–17) on June 18, 1812, intense battles followed soon thereafter, triggering an increase in the production of silver presentation pieces. Committees of citizens in cities such as Baltimore and Philadelphia, and states such as Virginia and Rhode Island financed and commissioned silver presentation pieces for the many heroes the war produced.5 On August 2, 1812, Constitution under the command of Captain Isaac Hull ran the British blockade of Boston harbor and sailed for Nova Scotia where she sank two British merchant ships. Off the Gulf of the St. Lawrence on August 19th she sighted the 49-gun frigate Guerrière which immediately opened fire, but the British cannon balls bounced harmlessly off her oaken hull. The American sailors cheered and christened their ship “Old Ironsides.” As the ships drew abreast Captain Hull gave the order to fire, and over the next half hour repeated broadsides shattered Guerrière’s foremast and mainmast and shredded most of her rigging. Dead in the water, Guerrière surrendered. The British prisoners were transferred to Constitution, and the hulk was burned. It was the first major naval victory of the young United States over the world’s foremost naval power.6 Less than one month later it was, “[r]esolved, that a piece of Plate [silver] of the most elegant workmanship, ornamented with appropriate emblems, devices and inscriptions, be presented in the name of the Citizens of Philadelphia, to Captain Isaac Hull…as a testimony of the respect and admiration the Citizens entertain of [his] gallant conduct.”7 The makers of this piece were Thomas Fletcher and Sidney Gardiner of Philadelphia. Fletcher and Gardiner produced many of the finest silver presentation pieces during and after the war for Captain Hull, Captain Oliver Hazard Perry (Figure 2), Commodore William Bainbridge, Captain Jacob Jones, Lieutenant Charles Morris, and Lieutenant James Biddle.8 Other popular silversmiths were Samuel Kirk and Andrew Ellicott Warner of Baltimore, Jesse Churchill and Daniel Treadwell of Boston, and Charles A. Burnett of Georgetown. All received orders, from near and far, to produce objects recognizing military heroes. The production of American silver objects and trophies had advanced in sophistication and beauty, rivaling their European counterparts. The increase in functional presentation awards being produced truly set the United States apart. Vessels such as soup tureens, wine coolers, and serving dishes, were made

in elaborate services and presented to deserving recipients. The American Beacon and Commercial Diary of Norfolk, Virginia, editorialized, “this is the true way to reward public men, either as meritorious Soldiers, Statesmen, or Citizens — A dinner passes away, and is no more thought of; but a splended (sic) present like [a dinner service], is a monument ever present to the receiver, and descends to his posterity, exciting future generations to heroic deeds in the service of their country.”9 Stephen Decatur, Jr., (Figure 3) was another celebrated naval hero from several wars, including the first and second Barbary Wars (1801–05 and 1815–17) and the War of 1812. Patrolling 500 miles south of the Azores on October 25, 1812, with Captain Decatur in command, lookouts on the aging frigate United States spotted the relatively new HMS Macedonia on the horizon. The morning battle began with an exchange of broadsides with little damage to either ship, but the second broadside from United States brought down Macedonia’s mizzen top mast and other rigging compromising her ability to maneuver. Decatur’s cannon then proceeded to rake the doomed ship until the hulk surrendered around noon. American sailors repaired the British ship and sailed the prize triumphantly into New York Harbor on December 4th. Ironically, when both ships were in Norfolk, Virginia, several years before the war Macedonia’s captain had wagered Decatur a beaver hat that if the two ships should ever meet the British ship would be the victor.10 Instead, it was Commodore Decatur who was honored at several grand ceremonies and regaled with many pieces of silver, one of which was presented by the City of Philadelphia in 1818. Members of the Philadelphia commission wrote to Commodore Decatur: Dear Sir,—A number of your townsmen, most of whom have known you from your youth, and the hearts of all whom have followed you in your career of peril, honor, and usefulness, with alternate anxiety and exultation, have appointed the undersigned a committee to present you with a service plate, in testimony of their high sense of your brilliant service to our country, and of the glory which your deeds have reflected on your name.11 Silversmiths Thomas Whartenby and Peter Bumm of Philadelphia earned the Decatur commission and produced a pair of silver wine coolers, two large salvers, and a set of twelve goblets (Figure 4).12 On the obverse side of the urn-shaped wine cooler is engraved, “By Citizens Of Philadelphia To Their Townsman Commodore Decatur Esteemed For His Virtue Honored For His Valour[.]” The wine cooler’s body has intricate repoussé work with two barrel handles on either side. It rests on a square base with four winged ram-head legs. The interior has

Following the War of 1812, major shifts occurred in American military focus, economy and culture. Expansion west and the acquisition of territories, such as after the Mexican-American War (1846–48), resulted in an increase of conflicts occurring on land and less at sea. Additionally, the domestic struggle to unite our divided nation during the Civil War (1861–65) saw more ground action. The American Navy certainly was a major force during this period, and significant blockades, battles and engagements were a factor in defense of the Union. Awards, however, created for the heroes of these military conflicts had changed, trending more towards the presentation of money and military objects such as swords and guns. There are, however, many silver presentation or ceremonial swords. In times of peace, Americans continued to partake in international competitions on the high seas. The precedent for competition was more cordial, and victory was a race rather than
a battle. Although competing countries sought national pride and bragging rights with a win, the awarding of ornate trophies was just as coveted. Trophies made of silver were no longer classical in design, and the new fashion of “revivals” dominated. The interpretation of designs from the Gothic, Renaissance and Rococo (Figure 5), and later Colonial Revivals (Figure 6) were among the most popular found on silver in the United States. The oldest international sailing race and trophy, an example of Renaissance Revival design, is the America’s Cup. In 1851, a crew of American men, all former or current members of the United States Navy sailed for England in their schooner America to compete in the Royal Yacht Squadron’s annual fifty-three nautical mile race around the Isle of Wight. The winner would receive both acclaim and a trophy, measuring two-feet three inches tall, called the 100 Guinea Cup (Figure 7).13 On August 22, 1851, America successfully finished the race in first place, taking home both the 100 Guinea Cup and the begrudging respect of their

English competitors. Queen Victoria (1819–1901) was present, observing the ships as they sailed past her observation deck. As she watched, the Queen asked the signal-master, “are the yachts in sight?” to which the signal-master replied, “yes, may it please Your Majesty.” The Queen then asked, “‘which is first?” The signalmaster alerted her, ‘The America.’” Assumingly, the Queen wanted to know her countrymen’s place, she then inquired, “which is second?” She was answered with, “ah, Your Majesty, there is no second.”14 The America crew took the Cup home to New York and re-named it the America’s Cup trophy. Upon his return, America’s Captain John Cox Stephens presented the trophy to the New York Yacht Club with a restriction that the trophy be, “a perpetual challenge cup for friendly competition between nations.”15 One hundred and fifty years later, this friendly competition continues, and has only seen three nations successfully challenge and win one of the most difficult, coveted, and oldest trophies in international sport. The beauty of the America’s Cup trophy has few rivals. Its design belongs more to the realm of imagination as its form and ornament were not a direct copy of an historical object but rather an interpretation of 16th-century Italian design principles. The America’s Cup was designed and produced in 1848 by London jeweler Robert Garrard, principal of what was and is still recognized as the world’s oldest jeweler in operation, established in 1735.16 As described on the official website: The America’s Cup, silver, in the form of a ewer, round spread foot, the stem decorated with a bead band and geometric strapwork, the lower body chased with pellet and further architectural strapwork enclosing burnished panels, the upper body lobe fluted, each lobe engraved with an inscription and separated by masks and strapwork, the baluster neck stippled and chased with foliate scrolls and anthemion motifs above a band of pellets centre with flower heads on a background of horizontal lines, similarly chased rim to the spout, bead decorated flying scroll and baluster handle.17 The America’s Cup race grew in popularity, drawing industry tycoons, fashionable socialites, celebrities, and Presidents of the United States as spectators. Sailing remained largely a sport for the wealthy. Today, the total value of a fleet entering a race can be as much as $50 million.18 The owners of ships or team syndicates have to build their vessels, sustain a crew, procure supplies, schedule regular maintenance, and store their boats. These individuals also retain memberships at the exclusive yacht clubs on the east and west coasts. Yacht clubs began to develop their own races between nearby and far-off locations, accompanied by fine silver trophies awarded to the winners. A jeweler in 1893 observed: To the admirer of art, the cups that the demand for yachting trophies have called into existence of late years are marvels of beauty and originality. The New York Yacht Club has after each of several international races, presented to the owners of the victorious yachts an honorary testimonial in the shape of a fine silver trophy…19 These objects of “beauty and originality” became the envy of individuals outside of the sailing and yachting communities.20 Companies such as Samuel Kirk and Son; Reed and Barton; Bailey, Banks and Biddle; Tiffany and Company; and the Gorham Company were now creating larger, more sculptural silver objects. With an expansion in the silver industry, many yacht racing organizations began to commission trophies for regattas on an annual basis. Ogden Goelet, a member of the New York Yacht Club, underwrote the creation of a new silver trophy, the Goelet
48

Cup, every year, from 1882 until 1897, to award the winner of the Club’s annual race off Newport, Rhode Island.21 After Mr. Goelet’s death in 1897, Colonel John Jacob Astor continued the tradition, procuring an Astor Cup for the same race.22 Colonel Astor also underwrote numerous silver trophies for the winners of the America’s Cup trial races during the 1890s (Figure 8).23 In the 20th century, the once small and insular sailing community and their prized trophies grew to become a professional sports community with established traditions. Individual and team racing also led to the creation of the InterCollegiate Sailing Association, now with over 230 member colleges.24 Competitions between academic institutions result in awards of trophies for the winning teams and specific members of their crew. Many of these trophies have been made to commemorate and honor individuals who significantly enhanced and supported the sport of sailing. The John F. Kennedy Memorial Trophy was presented to the United States Naval Academy as a testament to the late President’s “love for sailing… perpetuated in the annual competition for the trophy.”25 The
silver, montieth-shaped trophy is awarded to the winner of the National Collegiate Large Yacht Championship. Other trophies are school specific, and awarded to a particular member of a sailing crew. The Stephen W. Gerber trophy is presented to the “skipper of the Naval Academy vessel with the best corrected time in either the Annapolis to Newport race, in odd years, or the Newport to Bermuda race, in even years.”26 Whether a member of the United States Navy, an entrepreneur, or college-age sailor, the pursuit of victory at sea continues. And just as in the past naval tradition, the importance of speed and maneuverability were often the key to success. As a sport, sailing races and regattas maintain a fiercely competitive spirit, and the awards still hold a highly symbolic esteem. As President Kennedy remarked, the sea changes, ships change, and so to do the trophies awarded to those who compete in this rigorous and athletic pursuit, but what does not change is the perpetual love we have for the sea. These silver vessels of victory tie their form, material, meaning, and recipient ever closer to our national history, to the sport of sailing and to the ocean.

HINCKLEY YACHTS A Personal Reminiscence by Nick Voulgaris III
T
here’s an aura about a Hinckley that’s not easily put into words. Whenever I see one my breathing slows, and I swear my heart skips a beat. Whatever the source of this mystique — it may be the design, the heritage, or the incomparable way they handle. Over the years the name has embedded itself into the hearts and minds of yachtsmen and aspiring sailors alike. It’s little wonder then that the name instantly commands attention and respect, be it on the docks of a yacht club in France, or at the bar of a Manhattan restaurant. It is this draw that led me to purchase and restore a vintage Hinckley Bermuda 40 Yawl, and recently write the new coffee table book titled Hinckley Yachts: An American Icon. I can still remember as a child my father pointing out every and beautiful lines of this iconic yacht builder.

And I visited, always getting as close as possible to admire their what is interesting is that my father wasn’t a Hinckley owner, beauty.

boats money can buy, and that’s because they’re built to the highest standards. Owning one brings an immense sense of both pride and accomplishment, so they tend to be pampered by their masters. In fact, Hinckley owners often refer to themselves as “stewards” of these fine craft, preserving them for the next individual to hold the proverbial keys. Despite that Hinckley encounter happening almost thirty years ago, the image of that blue yawl is still etched in my mind as if I’d seen it only yesterday. I remember the graceful sheer of her deck, the bow high and commanding for heavy

Yacht Club on Long Island, and standing on the pier, I noticed a beautiful yawl in one of the transient slips. I rushed down the gangway to get a closer look. Her hull was a deep shade of dark blue, her decks were a creamy buff color, and the varnished teak was something out of a magazine. The boat was a Sou’wester 50 yawl, likely a mid-1970s vintage. She would already have been over ten years old at the time, but was still in impeccable condition. This is something to note about a Hinckley: they’re almost always found in tip-top shape.

And I can still recall the detail in her molded cove stripe, finished with hand-applied gold leaf. Yes, Hinckley’s are arrestingly elegant, but beyond their physical beauty they convey a sense of quality and pedigree that even the untrained eye can recognize. All of which means that Hinckley’s command a level of respect not seen by any other boat manufacturer. Hinckley’s hold a special place in the A beautiful Sou’wester 50 in Watch Hill, RI. hearts of yachtsmen around the world. Founded in 1928 by Henry R. Hinckley in Southwest Harbor, Maine, the company has not just endured but thrived for almost a century by building some of the finest yachts in the world. Hinckley’s are widely admired for their sweeping lines, their impeccable woodwork, and the shining chrome of their hardware — elements that together stimulate the senses and convey a sense of wonder. But just as important is what you do not see, and this is an area Hinckley is equally famous for. This is something I discovered while restoring my own Hinckley. After forty years of active service, I discovered that my vintage Bermuda 40 really only needed cosmetic upgrades, a testament to Hinckley’s quality and craftsmanship. Since the outset the company has widely recognized for the quality workmanship that goes into their boats.

And traditionalists will be pleased to learn that the sailboat, which originally put Hinckley on the map — the Bermuda 40, designed by William Tripp — will soon have a new bigger sister. Tripp’s son, the designer Bill Tripp, has been commissioned to create a brand new model, aptly named the Bermuda 50. This is Hinckley’s first new sailboat model in almost a decade, and a good indicator that the Company is in very good hands indeed. Restoring my Bermuda 40, and then having the privilege of telling the story of the Hinckley Company has truly been an honor. I was very fortunate to meet wonderful people that are devoted to building some of the best boats in the world. My love for renovation and restoration runs deep, and alas, I have since sold my Bermuda 40 and now I’m restoring a seventy-year old farm and market located on Long Island . Kerber’s Farm has been in operation since 1941 and produces a line of homemade jams, pies, and other packaged goods. I am busy growing the label into a national retail brand, but rest assured, once this is accomplished, there will be another Hinckley in my future!
consistently the prettiest boats in the harbor. But the boats produced by Hinckley are just part of the story, as none of it would be possible without the men and women who actually build them. In writing my new book, I had the privilege of spending countless hours over several years with the men and women of the Hinckley Company. Their dedication and devotion to their craft is unparalleled. The State of Maine seems to possess some of the most talented boat builders in the world. Hinckley’s location on Mount Desert Island enables the company to attract the best craftsmen, not only because of the locale’s history of fishing and lobstering, but also because of its long tradition of boatbuilding. What’s more, the Company is able to retain these employees longer than its competitors because of the passion they feel for their work and the devotion they feel for the Hinckley Company. When I first met with the employees upon visiting the plant, their devotion was evident. And the individual years of employment, which were rattled off for my benefit at a roll call, went something like this: twenty-seven years, twentythree years, eighteen years, twenty-four years, thirty-nine years, twenty-one years, twenty-seven years, thirty-two years, forty Henry Hinckley is seen here looking at the camera aboard a Hinckley Islander, 1938. years, and so on.
