Description

A true dream for the functional collector. This one-off, proven off-shore racer-cruiser by the legendary Bill Tripp, patriarch of the legendary generational family of Canadian naval architects, has competed in races and crossed oceans over decades. Built in a time of true craftsmanship, when boats were made to withstand centuries as well as waves, a 2015 re-fit including new decks, and with a long and complete list of electronic and navigational upgrades by its current, commercial captain owner in preparation for an Atlantic crossing, she is as turn-key ready as any sailboat that has hit the market in the last 10 years. For the last 3, she has stayed Sunshine Coast local at protected moorage in Garden Bay apart from a trip to Hawaii, proving she is as- if not more than- blue-water ready as the day she was lovingly released from the craftsman's touch of B.C.'s premier boat building family.
