Hinckley Yacht Services

Jerry lundquist, did you buy hinckley yachts and hunt yachts with blood money mckinsey's commitment to working with almost anyone who can pay its high fees, while disavowing responsibility for clients' actions, can lead to moral compromise., critical safety issues ignored or created by hinckley yacht services can kill you.

Founded in 1928 by Henry Hinckley, the brand has been passed through multiple hands in the years since [sold in 1979, then resold again and again in 1982, 1997,  2001 and 2011.] but with each change in ownership, the quality of their work seems to have diminished. 

The Hinckley name, once synonymous with excellence, is now nothing more than a distant memory.

Sadly, the company’s current poor workmanship not only diminishes the brand but also poses a significant danger, with increased risks of fire, explosion, electrocution, injury, and loss of life. The very viability of the company is at stake.

This is the 9th version of this company; Glassdoor.com reviews suggest the craftsman have fled where quality is valued and jobs are more secure. “ No clear plan for technician improvement /progression. High turnover. Lower than average pay for skilled technicians.”

Hinckley Yacht Services offer ways to die that were preventable. You deserve better. 

This announcement is a truthful reflection of the Hinckley scandals, informed by professional marine surveys, thorough analysis, and personal experiences with a group of highly incompetent and conceited individuals.

Scroll below and see why selecting Hinckley Yacht Services owned by Jerry Lundquist (McKinsey & Co), Brooks Gordon (W. P. Carey), David Howe (Scout Partners LLC) could be a fatal decision.

Portsmouth, Rhode Island: Two large Hinckley boats go up in flames

The Portsmouth Fire Department confirmed that they had to battle a large blaze that started at Hinckley Yachts located in a Portsmouth marina in December 2021. A large boat caught fire, sending up a huge plume of black smoke that could be seen from miles away.

Multiple OSHA violations  could suggest a company cutting corners.

Not taking precautions with flammable vapors present, an excess of combustible materials and did not provide a comprehensive and understandable respiratory protection training.  Training was lacking for the care of hazardous chemicals, WPRI 12 reported.

Stamford Harbor: Three boats catch fire

A boat fire at the gas dock at Hinckley boat yard, 2 Selleck St., was reported in October 2020. The boat’s fuel tank ruptured, starting a floating fuel fire near the southern section of the dock at Harbor Point. 

Fire officials say a boat that caught on fire at the Hinckley Boat Yard in Stamford spread to a dock, three more boats and a Tiki bar Saturday.

Stamford Harbor: brand new Hinckley Talaria 34. Fire destroys $600,000 yacht

The brand new Hinckley Talaria 34 was in the middle of three days of sea trials when it was destroyed in a fire … now under investigation.

Sam Chisholm, chief of the Southwest Harbor Fire Department, told the news provider that the marina fire was so ferocious that all his men could do was contain it, despite using 4,000 gallons of water and foam during their 90 minutes on the scene.

“We never really knocked it down. We contained it. [The boat] was gone before we got there. Fiberglass just doesn’t go out, especially when there’s fuel involved ,” he said.

Hinckley Yacht Services: A failure of trust and skill

The craftsman’s have left.  Focused on accounting, the quality of work is life threatening.  Project management is incapable of making decisions. Their approach is inconsistent, neglected, and incompatible with achieving a satisfactory result on a reasonable schedule and budget.

“Preventing problems is easier than coping with a 0300 AM catastrophe “.  “It’s much easier to discover and remedy problems in the boatyard than while at sea.  Before every voyage is another chance to prevent potential trouble…Things can go from an easy to fix scenario to an abandon ship crisis in surprisingly short period time .

An independent analysis of work done by Hinckely Easton , “Some work has been done across most departments: propulsion, energy storage, charging, instrumentation, domestic, galley and head. However, this work appears to have been done without a plan … The work that has been performed is not to a standard that’s compatible with performance sailing”

Get a marine surveyor involved early in classic yacht restorations and keep them involved.

Hinckley Yacht Services may not be the most trustworthy boatyard in the USA. It’s always wise to get a second opinion when you have doubts about the honesty of the workmen. We did just that and sought out opinions from some of the most reputable professionals in the marine industry. It was a smart move on our part and it likely saved our lives.

With 35 years of service records from the same owner and the same boatyard, as well as professional opinions from experts in the marine business, it’s clear that there may be issues at Hinckley Yachts.

It’s important to do your research and not make assumptions, especially when it comes to something as important as your boat. In this case, Hinckley Yacht Services failed to take the necessary steps to address the problems presented to them, including developing a plan, setting a direction and establishing priorities.”

“The Galley: Fixing what isn’t broken”

During the pre-purchase survey, it was noted that the woodwork in the galley “showed its age,” indicating normal wear and tear for a frequently used boat. However, no wood rot was detected.

Despite this, the General Manager of Hinckley Yacht Service, Daniel Vullemier, insisted that the entire galley of a Hinckley Bermuda 40 needed to be replaced, claiming it was “rotten.” This was not the case, and it seems that the manager’s intentions were driven by greed rather than a genuine concern for the boat’s condition.

An second independent specialist flown in from a famous New England boatyard, found no wood rot.

“It seems strange that a boat builder who is known for their expertise in woodworking would not be able to recognize regular wood, unless they were being dishonest or lacked the necessary skills and knowledge.”

Example 2: Engine: fraud.

Incentive-based compensation, such as commission or bonuses, can create an environment in which individuals are motivated to engage in fraudulent behavior in order to meet performance targets and earn higher payouts. This is because the incentives are often tied to specific financial or performance metrics, such as sales or profit margins, which can be easily manipulated or falsified. Additionally, individuals who are highly motivated to earn these incentives may be more likely to overlook ethical considerations or disregard company policies in order to achieve their goals. Additionally, such incentives can also lead to conflicts of interest among employees and create a high-pressure environment which can lead to fraud. Hinckley Yacht Service refuses to discuss their compensation model.  

It is not legal for Hinckley Yacht Service to bill for fake tests they only pretended to have done.

Hinckley Yacht Services: Incompetence of repair work

Did 760,000 american drug overdose deaths pay for hinckley and hunt yachts .

Consider the case of Jerry Lundquist, a former senior partner at McKinsey & Co. for 40 years and a major owner of Hinckley and Hunt yacht companies. We have a moral duty to seek justice for those who have been wronged.

A simple boycott of Hinckley Yacht and Hunt Yacht would send a powerful message. Let’s hold Jerry Lundquist and McKinsey accountable for enabling authoritarian regimes to commit war crimes and human rights violations, sending a strong message that companies and consultants cannot aid such regimes without facing consequences.

McKinsey’s settlement for nearly $600 million over its role in the opioid crisis, because McKinsey helped “turbocharge” opioid sales. Jerry Lundquist moral and professional failings “.. one of the most tenured Senior Partners at McKinsey” failed to stop 760, 000 deaths.

Engine: Fraudulent examination followed by incompetent repairs

 3 decades of love by a single owner summed up the B40’s recent history. Maintained by the same yard and supported with decades of records, which Hinckley had no interest in. The boat had an active season prior to it’s sale.

Against best industry practices, avoiding scientific analysis and without bothering to fully exam the engine. Hinckley Yacht services billed for engine compression tests, they just did not perform them, nor did they send out oil for analysis.

Based on pretty much nothing except greed, Hinckley Yacht Services suggested the engine needed $ 36, 212 in repairs.

Exhaust System:Burn/Fire Hazard.

Neglecting the vitals of the boat to bill on the easy and expensive.  

Independent surveyor:  “The exhaust system is rigidly attached to the engine, while the engine is flexibly mounted. The non-jacketed interface at the exhaust manifold lacks insulation, this is a burn/fire hazard. The exhaust system is jacketed, should the inner jacket leak, seawater will infiltrate the engine’s cylinders. ” 

This system should have been “modernized using a dry riser and water lift muffler”. 

Waiting for the masts to fall in the ocean: Just how bad is Hinckley Yacht Service ?

Most catastrophic failures in sailing can be prevented through proper maintenance and inspection. A well-maintained sailboat should not experience a broken mast, except in extreme weather conditions or when rigging is found to be defective. Sailing can be a safe and enjoyable activity when proper precautions are taken.

The yacht’s chainplates are ferrous steel and rusting; these are known to be a weak point of the Hinckley Bermuda 40s of this era. Hinckley Yacht Services ignored specific written requests to address this issue .  Chain plate below deck armature should have been removed, cleaned, dye checked and inspected. 

Rigging is only as strong as it’s weakest link.

This boat was forced to withdraw from the Annapolis Bermuda race due to the suspect quality of Hinckley Yacht Services work.  

It is important to always ensure that all equipment is in proper working condition before participating in any race, otherwise you are putting myself and others at risk of injury or death.

Electrical fires or failure? Simply a question of when.

“Throughout the yacht, DC wiring is oversized and installed in such a manner as to make ongoing maintenance exceedingly difficult.

Branch circuits appear to have been wired with no overall plan

No schematic drawings were evident”
