2010 Hinckley Talaria 44 MKII Express

INTRODUCTION: 

Hinckley’s MKII iteration of the extremely popular Talaria 44 incorporates many “new boat” technologies that further improve an already excellent model. From smooth and quiet common rail engines to a robust hydraulic system that powers the bow thruster, 12 volt (mono voltage system), and power opening pilothouse side windows and hatches. All of this while retaining the features that made her extremely popular- a large and airy pilothouse that flows into the spacious aft cockpit yet can be enclosed off with curtains for climate-controlled comfort. Below is a full galley and U-shaped dinette that converts into a second berth. Forward is the master stateroom with centerline queen berth and the head features a separate shower compartment.

DECK & HULL:

• Jet Black Awlgrip painted topsides
• Light Cream gelcoat decks (molded nonskid), pilothouse, and roof
• Single Light Cream bootstripe
• Red bottom paint
• Natural teak cockpit and pilothouse soles

Construction:

DualGuard Composite Construction and SCRIMP (vacuum bagged resin infusion) process.

The hull features Hinckley's DualGuard construction with a skin coat of chopped E-glass mat in low shrink Vinylester resin, an outer skin of Kevlar/E-glass, a core of segmented end grain resin-infused aircraft grade balsa and high-density foam, and an inner skin of carbon fiber.

The deck has an E-glass outer and inner skin with aircraft grade end grain balsa and closed cell foam core, all laminated with Vinylester resin using the SCRIMP process.

In such areas as the hull/deck connecting flange, jet intakes, and all through-hull fittings, the core is eliminated and the hull is reinforced with additional layers of fiberglass. A reinforcement stringer system is inserted into the hull, and the completed laminate (hull stringer system included) is then SCRIMPed. The patented SCRIMP process, an advanced, closed-molding, resin infusion technique, uses a strong vacuum to saturate or infuse the "sandwich" with Vinylester resin in a single step. Marelon ball-valve type seacocks are installed flush with the hull (bronze for main engine). The hull structure is supported by a combination of foam cored FRP stiffeners laminated to the hull, and structural bulkheads. These materials and building techniques provide for a superior surface finish, greater resistance to osmosis, a higher degree of stiffness and stiffness/weight ratios, greater hull strength against impact damage, and thermal insulation.

• Pilothouse roof has a custom Hinckley mast (painted to match house) that supports the anchor/steaming light, antennas, FLIR camera, and aft deck flood light
• Polished stainless handrails on the pilothouse top and cabin trunk provide easy access for boarding the boat or for going to the foredeck
• Custom stainless steel bow rail offers security when moving along the pilothouse sides and foredeck
• Foredeck locker has a custom stainless steel anchor roller that can be deployed to the deck for anchor launch position. A remote deck handheld control for the anchor windlass as well as control at helm station makes anchoring this boat uncomplicated. The anchor roller system secures in place for continuous use or can be pivoted back into the locker for a clean forward deck look.
