ELISE Yacht for Sale - 40′ Hinckley
Meet ELISE, a truly exceptional Hinckley Talaria 40 that stands out as one of the most versatile yachts on the market. In 2012, a collaborative effort involving Rhode Island naval architect Mathew Smith, in-person Volvo Penta engineering, and Hank Hinckley transformed this beloved T40. The standard jet propulsion system was replaced with the latest Volvo IPS drive propulsion system, resulting in a groundbreaking and first-of-its-kind modification.
This innovative transformation brings a host of advantages, including enhanced tracking, superior turning ability, and a more efficient midrange cruise compared to traditional jet-powered counterparts. ELISE goes a step further by offering dynamic positioning, allowing her to hold a specific GPS position at the touch of a button—an invaluable feature not only around docks but also during bridge wait times or while observing an upwind mark rounding in a sailing race.
ELISE is equipped with removable outriggers, rod holders, a baitwell, and a slightly modified cockpit, elevating her fishability to a level of refinement rarely seen in many boats. Don't miss the opportunity to own ELISE, a yacht that combines cutting-edge technology with a versatile design for a truly unique and extraordinary yachting experience. Secure your ownership and redefine your expectations on the water.

Detailed Information
Overview
ELISE is arguably the most versatile Hinckley Talaria 40 on the water. Her prior Owner, an avid fisherman, wanted a great-looking, refined Downeast-style boat that would be as comfortable entertaining family and friends as it would be raising fish offshore. In 2012, with the help of Rhode Island naval architect Mathew Smith, in-person Volvo Penta engineering, and Hank Hinckley, he set out to transform a well-loved T40 by replacing the standard jet propulsion system with the latest and greatest Volvo IPS drive propulsion system. The result is a transformation that tracks better, turns better, and has a more efficient midrange cruise than her jet-powered counterparts. She can also dynamically position herself (GPS Lat/Long) in one spot at the push of a button, a feature not only handy around the docks, but also while waiting for bridges, or watching an up-wind mark rounding during a sailing race. The further addition of outriggers (removable), rod holders, a baitwell, and a slightly modified cockpit allows for refined fishability not found in many boats.
