Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

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!
