Built by the renown Hinckley yard of Scrimp construction with great attention to detail. These features in combination with WANDERER’s excellent condition will afford a new owner the ability to make a swift, bluewater passage or cruise leisurely in safety and comfort.

WANDERER is a lovely, classic Hinckley that is owned by an avid sailor who has kept her in excellent condition since taking possession of her in 2016.
