60' Hinckley Custom Yawl 1997
“CHIMERA” is an exquisite custom 60ft cruising/racing yawl sailing yacht designed by the John G. Alden Naval Architects firm, headed from 1971-2008 by distinguished Chief Architect, Niels Helleberg, when “CHIMERA” was built by Hinckley Yachts in 1997. John Alden who studied and apprenticed in 1902 with MIT’s B.B. Crowninshield, opened his own design firm in 1909. Alden’s defining, design impacting experience was a winter voyage to Boston with a minimal, mostly inexperienced crew that survived 60mph icy winds to arrive safely—boat and crew. This led to Alden’s trademark design of boats that would be “resilient in heavy seas” and be able to be sailed when short-handed. His designs are not only elegant and graceful but known for their stability and ability to be sailed single-handedly, if necessary. Today’s electronics, technology, and other modern equipment, further simplify handling.
John G. Alden’s 1913 statement of design principle; “A yacht in which the owner can go to sea for long runs without undue anxiety to those left onshore…” was the guiding principle and legacy preserved and perpetuated by Niels Helleberg, the award-winning naval architect with innovations and patents of his own contributions to naval architecture included in the MIT Alden archive. Alden yacht designs are known and desired for their seaworthy performance and seakindly, bluewater capabilities.
Hinckley Yachts is a highly innovative manufacturer of luxury sail and powerboats, founded in 1928 in Southwest Harbor, Maine. One of Hinckley’s primary innovations was to experiment with fiberglass hull construction in the mid-1950s and then commit to the strong, lightweight, moldable material with the Bermuda 40 that launched in 1960. Hinckley continued to innovate with composite material, utilizing carbon fiber and aramid—the proprietary Dual Guard technology developed in 1999, for a lighter, durable, and more efficient hull.
One of “CHIMERA’s” standout features is the custom-built glass and stainless-steel fireplace in the main salon—a feature found on the most opulent superyachts. Gleaming cherrywood contrasts with the white tongue and groove overhead throughout the yacht’s interior for a classic, elegant, and comfortable ambiance.
