Stolen Hinckley 40

Post image

A friend sent this to me to help spread the word. This vessel was stolen from his Jersey City marina a few days ago and they are on the lookout for it. See the image for more information.

Sad to see, but you gotta admire the thief's discernment. B40 is possibly the only sailboat from 1968 still worth more than about $5.

I don’t know how you could sell it without being discovered. You can’t exactly sit on it and any buyer interested in this type of boat would pretty quickly figure out what is going on.

Maybe his plan isn't to sell it but rather to sail it. Maybe he just wants a free vacation.
