1964 Hinckley Yachts Bermuda 40

1964 Hinckley Bermuda 40 Yawl - REVEILLE

A beautifully updated example of the iconic B‑40, thoughtfully modernized while preserving her timeless Hinckley character.

REVEILLE is an exceptionally well‑maintained and extensively upgraded Bermuda 40 yawl, a design long celebrated for its graceful sheer, balanced proportions, and unmatched pedigree. Her classic beauty is complemented by a long list of modern enhancements, including a 2022 Beta Marine engine, Fischer Panda generator, air conditioning with reverse‑cycle heat, a Vacuflush head, and a complete professional rewire by Hinckley Yacht Services in 2016.

Sailed regularly on the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay, REVEILLE benefits from a gentler environment than open‑ocean vessels and is conveniently located in Rock Hall, Maryland for easy viewing.

A Classic Hinckley, Elegantly Updated

Stepping aboard REVEILLE, you immediately feel the warmth and craftsmanship of her varnished Honduran mahogany interior, white overhead, and solid teak‑and‑holly cabin sole.
