2008 Hinckley Talaria 40 — Extensively Refit & Upgraded
Designed by renowned naval architect Bruce King, this Hinckley Talaria 40 represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained and extensively upgraded example of one of Hinckley’s most iconic models.
The yacht has benefited from continuous investment and thoughtful improvements by a seasoned multi-Hinckley owner, with extensive refit work completed over several seasons by SRT Marine in Marseille.
The centerpiece of the refit was completed in 2022 with the installation of new twin Yanmar 6LF530 diesel engines (525 HP each), paired with new ZF280-1 gearboxes, updated engine instrumentation, NMEA 2000 wiring, adapted engine mounts, and additional engine room sound insulation. The yacht retains the renowned twin Hamilton jet drive configuration with Hinckley JetStick® maneuvering system, delivering precise handling, shallow draft capability, and outstanding docking ease.
Additional major upgrades include:
- Full Awlgrip hull repaint
- Upgraded Raymarine navigation electronics package
- Marine Air reverse-cycle air conditioning
- Enlarged galley with additional refrigeration/freezer capacity
- Dishwasher installation
- Custom full-width forward berth conversion with enhanced storage
- Generator and electrical upgrades
- Fully enclosed pilothouse with Stamoid/eisenglass curtains
- Refined interior and cockpit detailing throughout
Constructed using Hinckley’s DualGuard Kevlar/E-glass hybrid hull technology with SCRIMP vinyl-ester resin infusion, the yacht combines lightweight strength with exceptional ride quality.
The satin-varnished cherry interior offers warm, elegant accommodations with a spacious forward double cabin, convertible pilothouse berth, enclosed head with shower, and comfortable social spaces both inside and out.
Presented in true turnkey condition, this Talaria 40 is ideally suited for owners seeking timeless New England styling combined with modern systems, premium craftsmanship, and reliable high-performance cruising.
Located in Marseille, France.
