Seller's Description
Price drop. NOTICE 3/5/25 Electric Motor currently decommissioned. Needs connections cleaned possibly new motor controller for $116. I DON’T HAVE TIME. PRICE DROPPED 1500 to accommodate! This is most likely a $100 part. $600 if you want to replace the brushless motor completely (link to parts list in article below). Or throw an outboard on it. I DON’T CARE.
1962 Tripp 29 TEAL. Brand new sails. Brand new low friction/high performance main sail track system. Hyrdrovane self-steering wind vane direct drive with auxiliary rudder; rudder and air vanes in good condition. 48 V electric inboard motor conversion. Pro Furl 200S. Coast Guard Documented vessel. See “Equipment” for full gear list refit list.
Teal’s sailing resume/known history: Amsterdam to the east coast (unknown) Penobscot Bay Maine to Novia Scotia (Circa 2011) Penobscot Bay Maine (2020-2021) Gulf of Maine, New England & Cape Cod Canal, Block Island, Long Island Sound, East River, Hudson River, New Jersey Coast, Delaware Bay, Chesapeake Delaware Canal, Chesapeake Bay, Dismal Swamp Canal, Pamlico Sound, Roanoke Island (2021-2022) Much of the interior has been gutted Needs some seacock maintenance or replacement, a few more leaks/holes (above decks) fixed, and topsides deck refinishing. Or sail it as is, as I have done many times, and many before me. There is a brand new composting toilet Natures Head ready to be installed. Along with lots of other items. I paid $7K for the boat in May 2021 and clearly have put a lot into it. Priced for quick sale. I am asking $2000
A new Hyrdrovane alone is worth $7K. New sails cover $10k. Profurl $3K. The list goes on. With a little plywood and a haul-out you will have a bullet proof vessel. I simply dont have time. The repairs or upgrades needed for completion are neither expensive or difficult.
This is an intro to the game/yachting for only $2000 so price is firm. Located in Oriental, NC. Call Emily 631 599 8521

Calculations
- Hull Speed
-
5.8 kn
Classic: 6.07 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
- Sail Area/Displacement
-
14.9
<16: under powered
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.
- Ballast/Displacement
-
38.9
<40: less stiff, less 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
- Displacement/Length
-
399.5
300-400: heavy
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
- Comfort Ratio
-
27.7
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
- Capsize Screening
-
1.8
<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
Notes
Although similar in appearance to the earlier TRIPP 30 (SEAFARER), this is a different design. (The displacement is an estimate since none was listed on the original brochure.) After the orginal builder closed, a few more boats were produced using the original tooling.
Thanks to Joe Steinberger for updated information.(on displacement).
