1987 Holby Marine Tripp 37

Seller's Description

This Holby Marine Tripp 37 is fully equipped for racing and cruising. Ticker comes with a beautiful teak interior and bench seats in the cockpit for 4 to 6 adults. The price has been reduced by $12,000.

She rates 90 under MWPHRF and 654.7 under ORC.

Ticker was designed by William Tripp III who was chief designer for Doug Peterson. She was built by Holby Marine in 1987. The data on the Tripp 37 can be found at: sailboatdata.com/sailboat/tripp-37

Ticker’s asking price reflects that over $20,000 has been spent on upgrades since 2020 including carbon fiber racing sails, a dacron cruising mainsail, B&G instruments and other upgrades.

Ticker is a USCG documented vessel and was surveyed in March 2022.

Construction The Tripp 37 has a divinycell closed foam cored fiberglass deck and hull with an aluminum structural grid. Ticker has a lead keel and a fiberglass rudder. There have been no issues with water intrusion.

Ergonomic Cockpit Design Ticker has a unique cockpit layout. The primary winches are forward. This creates a standing platform so the trimmer can put his leg muscles into trimming the jib. There are seats aft for guests. The tiller steering enables the helmsman to sit further forward reducing weight in the stern.

Interior Tickers’s main cabin is unfinished teak which belies its potential beauty. The photo of a sistership shows how Ticker will look with 3 coats of varnish. Add new cushions with the varnish and Ticker will look like a Nautor Swan down below. The main cabin has full headroom, galley and nav station. It comes with a B&G chart plotter mounted on a swivel arm so it can also be used on deck. The main cabin has two settees, two pilot berths, and a removable table. There is a two-burner Origo alcohol stove, icebox, and sink. Forward there is a V-berth, enclosed head with sink and marine toilet with macerater pump (both new in 2022). Remove the aft berths and there is no weight in the ends of the boat.

Calculations

Hull Speed
8.8 kn
Classic: 7.32 kn

Hull Speed

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Formula

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

A more accurate formula devised by Dave Gerr in The Propeller Handbook replaces the Speed/Length ratio constant of 1.34 with a calculation based on the Displacement/Length ratio.

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio.311
Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

8.82 knots
Classic formula: 7.32 knots
Sail Area/Displacement
20.5
>20: high performance

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

Formula

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64)2/3

  • SA: Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D: Displacement in pounds.
20.49
<16: under powered
16-20: good performance
>20: high performance
Ballast/Displacement
47.8
>40: stiffer, more powerful

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Formula

Ballast / Displacement * 100

47.78
<40: less stiff, less powerful
>40: stiffer, more powerful
Displacement/Length
190.2
100-200: light

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

Formula

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
190.2
<100: ultralight
100-200: light
200-300: moderate
300-400: heavy
>400: very heavy
Comfort Ratio
22.7
20-30: coastal cruiser

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Formula

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam1.33)

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
22.73
<20: lightweight racing boat
20-30: coastal cruiser
30-40: moderate bluewater cruising boat
40-50: heavy bluewater boat
>50: extremely heavy bluewater boat
Capsize Screening
1.9
<2.0: better suited for ocean passages

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

Formula

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet
  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
1.93
<2: better suited for ocean passages
>2: better suited for coastal cruising
