Welcome aboard Wildfire, a 1987 Holby Marine built Tripp 37 currently wintered at Safe Harbor Dauntless Marine in Essex Ct. She is a solid boat and will make a great club racer / New England cruiser.
Wildfire is a dream to sail. She is rigged with a roller furler and lazy jacks making this a very easy boat for a couple to sail. For racing the boat is rigged for symmetrical spinnakers. The sail inventory is fine for cruising but needs updating for competitive racing. Included are a dacron main and #2 as well as a North 3DL #1, various non-furling head sails, 4 symmetrical spinnakers.
She is a comfortable cruiser for 2 and can easily accommodate a small family. The galley is well equipped with a 2 burner stove/oven, sink, large icebox and plenty of storage for a weeklong cruise. There is a folding table in the salon area and a removable table for the cockpit. The forward V Berth has plenty of room for 2 and the spacious aft cabin spans the width of the boat. The head is forward of the salon and opposite is a hanging locker and shelves.
The boat was surveyed for insurance purposes in December 2022 and found to be in Good condition with only minor recommendations that have all been addressed.
Below is a listing of the major maintenance items we have done since purchasing the boat. Recent highlight is the replacement of the standing rod rigging in the spring of 2023.
