Over the last eleven years, there have been many changes at HHBB. Not the least of these is that we are all getting older. In 2015 Hank and his daughter Sarah moved to Wilmington, NC to oversee a significant service job on an OC52 that was originally headed to Maine for work at our shop there on Mount Desert Island. The process was long, expensive and a difficult experience for all but showed a truly massive need for experienced boat professionals in the coastal southeast. Over the last decade, we have moved from building boats and some large repair/restoration jobs to almost all support work with customers and boatyards in the southeast. We still maintain shop space in the Wilmington area adequate to handle boats to about 45 feet but that space is now occupied by projects that support other yards and some direct customer projects. Among the projects we have been involved with are the restoration of several Hinckley Bermuda 40s, complete rebuilding of a 2002 Hinckley 36′ Classic Picnic Boat, assisting an owner with the upgrades and repairs of a Caliber 47 LRC and lots of smaller projects. Currently we are working with a Triton Yachts in Oriental, NC to evaluate their building the Great Harbor 26 Weekender and Daysailer versions.
