Used Huckins Yachts For Sale

Frank Huckins was the inventor of one of the first true planing hull forms—the patented Quadraconic® hull that has been refined over the years and is still the Huckins hull form today. Unlike other yachts of that era, the Huckins hull was able to go through tall waves without severe pounding (the V-hull hadn’t been invented yet by C. Raymond Hunt). Frank Huckins also patented the process he developed for wood lamination of the oak keel used on Huckins yachts. He marketed his fast, lightweight, stable, and elegant yachts as “Fairform Flyers” to the wealthy celebrities of his day who helped create the “aura” of Huckins that has developed into “cult-like” status today.
