Summary
A superb example of the legendary Sparkman & Stephens–designed Hinckley 38, Fairbourne represents the timeless elegance, performance, and craftsmanship that define these iconic racer/cruisers. Built in 1970, she has been meticulously maintained by Lyman-Morse for the past 26 years and is as fine an example of this celebrated design as you will find. A true classic for the discerning sailor seeking proven performance, comfort, and enduring beauty.
Her gleaming brightwork, immaculate Awlgriped paint, and thoughtfully updated systems reflect an owner who understood both the value and the responsibility of preserving a true classic. She has not simply been maintained—she has been lovingly cared for.
Under sail, FAIRBOURNE rewards her crew with everything that made the Sparkman & Stephens name legendary. She is beautifully balanced on the helm, easily driven under sail and power, remarkably responsive, and possesses the sea-kindly motion that inspires confidence offshore while remaining a joy to sail on an afternoon cruise. Her long overhangs, graceful sheerline, and purposeful profile turn heads in every harbor, proving that true beauty never goes out of style.
Below decks, the warm glow of handcrafted teak joinery creates the inviting atmosphere that has become synonymous with classic Hinckley yachts. Every detail reflects an era when boats were built with pride, intended to be passed from one generation to the next. Whether your dream is coastal cruising, spirited Wednesday night racing, extended offshore passages, or simply owning one of the most iconic American sailing yachts ever produced, FAIRBOURNE offers a rare opportunity. She represents not only an investment in a remarkable yacht, but also the privilege of becoming the next steward of a genuine sailing classic.
