The location:
You may start your cruise at a choice of New England locations
but we are based in the beautiful seaside village of Little
Compton, Rhode Island. Just across the water and in sight of
the world famous mansions of Newport, RI.
Sakonnet harbor in Little Compton is ideally suited for journeys
to Newport, to the Elizabethan Islands, and to Martha's
Vineyard, Nantucket, and Cape Cod. Block Island is just a few
hours sail, and just over the horizon is the rural tip of Long
Island with its many small islets and harbors.
Beautiful beaches, picturesque harbors, and memories to last
a lifetime await you!
The Yacht, Victory:
The Hinckley 49 is a restored classic yacht- a two-masted
center-cockpit ketch, with 2 private staterooms, a spacious
galley, and a comfortable main cabin. In addition to a full suite
of sails the vessel has a 120 HP diesel inboard. Hot and cold
running water, a full walk in shower and two heads with
showers ensure comfort for all aboard. The interior is
beautifully fitted out with a classic teak and holly cabin sole and
mahogany and teak woodwork with the world renowned
Hinckley quality craftsmanship.
