My nervous laugh about shooting the gap is classic! Jim and I have very much learned to sail through trial and error, in fact neither of us had ever been on a sailboat prior to Chuffed. We wouldn't begin to claim we are 'good sailors', we are however safe sailors and are slowly dialing in little tricks with Chuffed to get more speed or comfort out of her.

Growing up sailing, Floridian David Phillips always had a penchant for Hinckleys. “I grew up sailing as a small child and sailed all the way through college. Hinckley was the penultimate sailboat. And while they don’t make sailboats anymore, every time I saw a Hinckley, I immediately knew the quality.” Fast-forward to 2021, and quality time became the reason he and his wife, Tracy, decided to buy a Hinckley Sport Boat 40 X. The goal? To spend more family time on the water, away from distractions, and to explore their favorite boating locale, the Bahamas. “I got an email about an outboard model, which felt like a dream come true, as it’s such a well-built boat,” Phillips says. “We didn't want to get into boating without being on an outboard. We took a test ride in one, and as soon as our feet touched the deck, we knew we were going to love it.” See link in bio for the full story and get Phillips’ cliff notes to the ultimate exploration of Exuma, Harbour Island, and Abaco islands!
