  • Use epoxies, vinylester resins, and marine-grade adhesives to bond components for strength and longevity.
  • Work confidently with yachting terminology and shop practices common to traditional and modern yacht construction.
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized workspace that reflects Hinckley's culture of craftsmanship and pride.
