I lost the kill cord and had to ask a friend to tow me and our guests back to Britican. That’s the fifth time in ten years that I’ve lost the kill cord. Have I learned yet? It’s all experience-right?! It also shows our guests that living the cruising life requires humility. #sailinglife #learntosail #sailingexperience #livingthedream

As the flagship of the Hinckley fleet, the Talaria 57 allows for complete creativity of the client—an enticing reflection of taste and style. Built on Hinckley’s custom line, the 57 allows for superior customization. Choose from galley up or galley down arrangements that best suit your yachting lifestyle. The fit and finish by our team of craftsman in Maine is as we like to say, “finestkind” – the very best. Expect a signature toe rail with a sinuous curve and a deep-gloss finish, plus an exquisitely sculpted helm station. Each element is completed on the shop floor or on the icy waters off our Southwest Harbor yard. Nothing is left to chance. The Awlgrip-painted hull, the electronics installation, and every coat of varnish is produced by our obsessive craftsmen. Stainless outfitted glass doors create a sense of openness between the cockpit and the pilot house. One of our favorite add-on options? The hydraulic swim platform. Raised all the way up above the transom, it becomes a safe dive platform for your guests, kids and grandkids. When lowered, steps to the transom door unfold to make boarding pets or sport gear easier than ever. Talaria motor yachts and flybridge yachts are built in Maine of epoxy-infused carbon fiber. Created in response to customer requirements for enhanced space and power, the Talaria 57 and its intricate woodworking reveal the Hinckley craftsman’s obsession to detail. Welcome to the pinnacle of American yachting.
