1987 Holby Marine Tripp 37

Ticker is available to purchase or charter for the 2024 season (a slip on the Clinton River is included). Ticker is nearly fully equipped for the Port Huron to Mackinac race. Late registration ends June 7, 2024. She rates 90 under MWPHRF, 654.7 under ORC. Race her for the summer and decide later whether to purchase her.

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: https://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 4 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.
