Description: |
The Tripp 47 was designed by Bill Tripp III and built by Carroll Marine, the 1992. The Tripp 47 is a purpose-built performance cruiser-racer that strikes an impressive balance between offshore capability and exhilarating sailing performance. With her lightweight yet robust construction, deep fin keel with bulb, and powerful mast head rig, the Tripp 47 was designed to excel under sail while remaining comfortable enough for extended cruising. Her performance pedigree has made the model a respected competitor on race courses while still appealing to sailors seeking a fast, rewarding yacht for passagemaking. This model has been fitted with a deeper, heavier bulb keel further improving her performance. The current owner single-hands so while she maintains all her performance pedigree (and gear), Nautilus is also equipped to cruise. Her autopilot, roller furler, and anchor windlass make her manageable shorthanded. The proliferation of sailhandling equipment and electronics ensure theres plenty of excitement when fully crewed.
Below deck, the Tripp 47 offers far more volume than many yachts in her performance class, with a bright, functional interior that comfortably accommodates family and crew on longer voyages. Nautilus clean, bright interior is inviting as is and would make an idea canvas for someone considering a conversion.
On deck, the spacious cockpit and efficient sail plan inspire confidence whether sailing shorthanded or with a full racing crew. Responsive at the helm and remarkably quick in light air, the Tripp 47 delivers the kind of sailing experience that reminds you why high-performance offshore yachts have such a devoted following. Whether your goal is competitive club racing, offshore passages, or covering long distances quickly and comfortably, the Tripp 47 remains an exceptional example of Bill Tripp's timeless design philosophy.
Nautilus is rigged and ready. |
