Overview

Ticker is fully equipped for racing and cruising.

She has a teak interior and bench seats aft in the cockpit for 4 to 6 adults.

Ticker was designed by William Tripp III, who was chief designer for Doug Peterson. She was built by Barret Holby Marine in 1987. The data on the Tripp 37 can be found at: sailboatdata.com/sailboat/tripp-37 Over $20,000 has been spent on upgrades since 2020, including carbon fiber racing sails, a dacron cruising mainsail, stack pack, 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 forward reducing weight in the stern.

Interior Ticker’s main cabin is unfinished teak which belies its potential beauty. The photo of a sistership shows how Ticker will look with. Add 3 coats of varnish and new cushions 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 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). For racing remove the forepeak cushions and aft pipe cots and there is no weight in the ends of the boat.
