2007 Hinckley Talaria 55 Flybridge | 55ft

Flybridge and exterior living

The 2007 Hinckley Talaria 55 Flybridge combines a Flag Blue Awlgrip finish with a cream deck and cabin top, molded non-skid, varnished teak toe rails, and a red bottom. The swim platform carries inset teak treads, underwater lights, and a telescoping three-step stainless-steel ladder.

The cockpit is arranged with teak decking, a varnished teak coaming, movable seating, under-coaming lockers, a sole hatch, and a starboard transom door to the platform. A hydraulic Freedom tender lift and Walker Bay RIB complement the aft deck arrangement, while a hot-and-cold cockpit shower and separate stereo-zone speakers add practical detail.

The flybridge is sheltered by a custom hardtop and enclosure, with a wraparound windscreen, stainless-steel safety rail, starboard L-shaped seating, port seating, and a removable teak table. A stainless-steel ladder with teak treads links the cockpit and upper deck.

Two helm stations and pilothouse command

The upper helm places MAN controls, JetStick control, navigation instruments, Raymarine multifunction displays, and a DSM300 fishfinder module at the starboard console. A double Stidd helm seat, upholstered in Adobe White with Imperial Blue piping, faces the helm.

The pilothouse brings the lower helm, a carbon-fiber instrument dash, wood-rim steering wheel, powered Stidd helm seating, and an electrically opening side window into a bright, glass-enclosed space. Large tempered and laminated glass windows, windshield wipers and washers, tinted side glass, and electrically lowered Skysol shades shape the view and light within the pilothouse.

A starboard C-shaped dinette with a varnished cherry hi-lo table sits aft of the helm, while two chairs and an entertainment console occupy the port side. Gloss-varnished raised-panel cherry, a teak-and-tulipwood sole, white sound-absorbing overhead panels, and cherry battens establish the interior finish.

Cherry-finished accommodation

The accommodation plan sleeps four across a forward owner’s suite and a guest cabin with twin berths, with two heads serving the interior. The owner’s suite has a centerline queen berth, a wraparound settee, cedar-lined storage beneath the berth, a private head, and a separate stall shower.

The galley is fitted with Chamois Corian countertops, an electric cooktop, microwave, double stainless-steel sink, two U-Line drawer refrigerators, a top-loading freezer, wine locker, and wine cooler. The guest head combines a cherry vanity area with a separate glass-enclosed shower.

Gloss-varnished cherry joinery, teak-and-tulipwood cabin soles, screened overhead hatches, portlight coverings, and dimmable lighting continue throughout the lower deck. Reverse-cycle chilled-water air conditioning serves the pilothouse and interior spaces.

Propulsion and onboard systems

Twin MAN V-12 common-rail diesel engines, rated at 1,360 hp each, are paired with Twin Disc MG5145SC transmissions. The propulsion installation includes underwater exhaust with low-speed bypass, baffled and insulated engine air intakes, Racor fuel/air separators, an Algae-X fuel purification system, and a 25 hp hydraulic bow thruster.

The electrical installation includes a Westerbeke 15 kW generator in a sound shield, 24-volt battery banks, dedicated battery chargers, a 24-volt-to-110-volt inverter, and two 50-amp shore-power inlets. The engine room has Mylar-faced insulation, extraction fans, protected lighting, and a remote day/night camera linked to an E-series display.

Freshwater capacity is 200 gallons, with a 100-gallon holding tank, Sea Recovery Ultra-Whisper 400 watermaker, 17-gallon water heater, pressurized hot-and-cold water, and a saltwater deck-wash system. A hydraulic windlass, 55 lb Delta primary anchor, and Fortress FX55 secondary anchor complete the ground-tackle arrangement.
