The Hinckley 49 represents a definitive moment in American yachting history, marking a transition toward the luxurious, long-range center cockpit cruisers that would come to dominate the blue-water market in the 1970s. Designed by Henry R. Hinckley himself and introduced in 1971, the 49 was the successor to the Hinckley 48, utilizing a modified version of that hull to create a more voluminous, live-aboard-centric vessel. During its production run through roughly 1977, approximately 24 of these yachts were built in Southwest Harbor, Maine. The model is characterized by its graceful ketch rig, a sweeping clipper-style bow, and the impeccable "Hinckley finish" that set the standard for production fiberglass yachts of the era.
