Description
Donated vessel. Available for term charter with option to purchase.
WHISPER is a Bill Tripp-designed Hinckley 48 yawl with a spacious 2-stateroom/2-head layout and a large easily-accessed social cockpit. Her previous owner was a master shipwright who customized and detailed the interior to make her a comfortable liveaboard cruising yacht. With her full keel and protected propeller, WHISPER’s hull form is extremely well-suited for New England waters or anywhere where fishing gear or shoal draft is a concern. Her easily handled rig, electric winches and various self-steering options have allowed her current owner to safely and successfully sail her in the Doublehanded Division during the last six Bermuda Races and three Halifax Races.
Having spent all her New England winters indoors, WHISPER is in good mechanical and cosmetic condition and is ready for her next season of sailing.

ACCOMMODATIONS and WALKTHROUGH
Starting forward and aft of the anchor
locker is a V-berth-style stateroom with a double berth to port and a single to
starboard. There are shelves over and lockers under the berths. A hanging
locker is aft to starboard and a large Hood stainless steel hatch is situated
above the berths.
Moving aft there is a large head to port
with Corian counter tops, sink, shower and large storage lockers. To starboard
opposite the head is a large hanging/utility locker.
To port in the salon is a U-shaped
dinette. There are shelves and a locker outboard. To starboard is a pilot
berth, with transom berth with shelves outboard, and six large drawers under.
There is a large Hood overhead hatch in the salon to provide light and
ventilation. Reverse-cycle heat and air conditioning maintain a comfortable
temperature in any weather.
Up two steps aft is the nav section to
starboard and a galley to port. The galley has a large, single-basin sink built
into a Corian counter top. There is a 3-burner Shipmate LP stove with oven and
broiler, microwave, top-loading refrigerator with freezer (freezer cools
refrigerator), spice rack, and loads of storage for dishes, utensils, pots and
pans, dry goods, cleaning supplies etc.
The companionway is on centerline as you
move aft. Access to the aft cabin is to port. This cabin has a double berth to
port and a single to starboard. There are shelves with lockers outboard, with
drawers and foot lockers under. There is a large opening port on the center aft
bulkhead that opens into the cockpit, allowing for good airflow throughout the
boat. A hanging locker is situated under, with access to the generator compartment
through its back. There is a spacious head forward to starboard in this cabin,
with Corian counter, sink, shower and good storage.
WHISPER’s interior was
custom-refurbished by a master shipwright. It is far more detailed and finished
to a higher level than her sisterships. Bulkheads with overhead cabinetry were
finished in gloss-varnished birch. The cabin sole is South American hardwood
finished in oil; it is very hardy and durable.
