Design 163 Circumstance


Heres a design that has flown completely under the radar. Circumstance is one of the very few designs generated in our Boston office under the direction of K. Aage Nielsen. The boat was constructed as follows: Philippine mahogany planking on white oak frames, teak decks and bronze fastened.

Depending on what I reference there is a slight discrepancy regarding her builder. The article below states she was built by the Manset Boat Yard of Manset, Maine yet another document says she was built by Henry R. Hinckley of Manset. Perhaps the Manset Boat Yard was the precursor to the Hinckley Company. The year of her launch was 1938.

This article is the best I can do regarding the plans as the plans are in storage.


Heres a look at her shape.


And finally heres a copy of her beautiful Lines.
