| "This picture is of a prototype for a production model design by Henry Hinckley to be known as the Hinckley Sport Cruiser 30 built in 1940. Production was postponed because of the war, but it is interesting to note her lines compared to the Picnic Boat. This could have been a very popular boat had it ever gone into production." -- The Hinckley Story (p.89). |  309 Cruiser Hinckley Sport Cruiser 30

| Photos taken in 1941 and 1942. The following comes from interviews with Ralph Warren Stanley between 2009 and 2013. The stern post was from an old elm tree on Carrie Joyce’s lawn. She sold the tree to Bink Sargent for $100. Carrie thought she was rich, as, at that time, she was getting an old age pension of $30 a month. She hired a car and got Ralph Stanley’s grandmother, Celestia “Lessie” Gertrude (Dix) Robinson, Mrs. Ralph Judson Robinson (1875-1961), to go shopping in Bangor with her. Carrie got a blister on her heel from walking around Bangor. Bink paid Harvard Gilley and Jack Ramsdell $15 and a pint of rum to cut the tree down. Henry Dunbar was running the mill at Southwest Boat at the time and he said that they sawed that tree into logs and lumber and used every bit of it. Carrie E.
