About
1955 HINCKLEY 36 AUXILIARY YAWL
BRISTOL CONDITION
RE-BUILT TO BE STRUCTURALLY STRONGER
USING THE COLD MOLDING TECHNIQUE
S/Y Obsession presents a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a truly turn key, classic yacht for years of continued enjoyment.
This beautiful yawl designed and built by Henry R. Hinckley in 1955 – hull no. 972, has been in the care of a very knowledgeable owner since 1989, who has spent the last 36 years upgrading and protecting this timeless gem. Truly an Obsession!
From the beginning when the owner found her in a boat yard, and having owned other wooden boats, he set about to make her into a vessel that would stand up to the rigors of offshore sailing. The boat was essentially completely rebuilt, to cold molded standards, here are the details in the seller's own words:
The hull's exterior was sand blasted, new boards added, everything refastened, frames laminated with epoxy, glued to the hull with epoxy, hull planks edge-to-edge glued with epoxy (the seams were reefed with a skill saw first), two layers of Cofab Comat (each layer is 18 oz. biaxial with 1.5 oz mat) applied over the exterior with epoxy, hull faired with epoxy, and the entire interior of the hull coated with 3 layers of epoxy to seal (you can see what that looks like in the anchor locker picture at the bow - grey pigment was added to the epoxy). The cast iron ballast was removed and glued on (mating surfaces, new keel bolts, etc.) with epoxy. A new rudder was glued together with epoxy and covered like the hull + new SS rudder post. She’s got 140 gallons of West System epoxy on her, 42 new laminated frames, a Universal diesel engine, aluminum spars (original dimensions as her spruce ones) and an added bowsprit to help overcome the 3,500 additional pounds all of those new screws, gallons of epoxy, bronze fittings, miles of electrical lines, etc. added. Other upgrades include AC, refrigeration, pressurized fresh & salt water, inverter, gimbaled microwave, radar, etc.
S/Y Obsession regularly competes in local regattas and has amassed a very impressive amount of silver over the years. She is optimized for sailing and performance in every way possible, and benefits from continual updates and new sails as needed.
Here is a run down of just some of her improvements:
