My wife Trudy and I chartered a 1979 Hinkley Bermuda 40 yawl in Bass Harbor, Maine. We are experienced bare-boat charterers. Even so, the boat owners required supervision for day charters, an understandable requirement considering that classic Hinkley yachts like this one cannot be replaced. Our skipper allowed us to take control of the boat to our hearts content, and the day was spectacular. That's our young skipper standing beside my wife. He provides his services in this capacity without charge for the privilege of sailing this classic yawl in seas that he has known all his life.
