[BELLATRIX1965]

CalebD,

Thanks for your interest and compliments on BELLATRIX! No, she's not a Ranger 36 - she's a 1965 Hinckley 41 sloop, Henry Hinckley's variation on an Owens 40 cutter. Hinckley built the Hinckley-Owens 40 cutters in wood during the 1950s or so, and rumor has it that ol' Hank decided that the design was a good one to build in that new fangled fiberglass - with just enough changes to avoid paying any more royalties to Owens!

p.s. We're cat lovers too, and Bella's a beauty! Happy sailing!
