1987 Holby Marine Tripp 37

Ticker is a turnkey race boat that was smartly designed to be comfortable cruising for a weekend. There are bench seats aft for guests to sit safely away from the flying elbows of mark roundings. And when it comes to grinding in the jib or gybing the spinnaker no other boat in this size range matches the winch platform for the primary winches like the Tripp 37.

Ticker features a high-aspect ratio sailplan, a fair hull shape, fin keel and a deep, balanced spade rudder with tiller steering. She has competed in the Newport to Bermuda race and is fully equpped for the Mackinac races. She rates 90 under MWPHRF and an All Purpose Handicap of 654.7 under ORC.

Ticker was built by Barrett Holby of Holby Marine in 1987 as hull No. 2 of 9 Tripp 37s. The Tripp 37 was designed by William Tripp III. Bill Tripp graduated from the University of Michigan school of naval architecture in 1976 and was hired by Doug Peterson. Mr. Tripp was chief designer in the 80s (at the height of the Doug Peterson firm’s success designing race boats). The Tripp 37 was one of Bill Tripp’s first designs after striking out on his own.

Equipment: Construction The Tripp 37 has a divinycell closed foam cored fiberglass deck and hull (with aluminum structural grid). It comes with a lead keel and deep fiberglass rudder with tiller steering. There is ample cockpit seating aft for guests.

Interior Tickers’s main cabin is all unfinished teak. Add three coats of varnish and it will look stunning. The main cabin is roomy and comfortable. It has full headroom, a modest-sized galley and a proper nav station. The main cabin has two settees with comfortable seating for four, two pilot berths, and a removable teak table. The galley has a two-burner Origo alcohol stove, icebox, and sink. The nav station comes with a B&G chart plotter mounted on swivel arm so it can be used on deck. Forward there is a V-berth, enclosed head with sink and marine toilet (new in 2020) with macerater pump (new in 2022) and holding tank. To keep weight out of the ends, remove the forepeak cushions and platform and the forepeak is completely empty. Aft there are two pipe cots and nothing else. In 2022 the floorboards were refinished, the cushions dry cleaned and three Hella cabin fans were installed.
