Bill Tripp 39

During the 1960s, William H. Tripp Jr. Was one of America's most successful yacht designers, drawing custom ocean racers for a distinguished clientele and smaller boats for production builders like Seafarer and Columbia Yachts. His Bermuda 40 for the Henry R. Hinckley Co. Is considered by many to be one of the prettiest boats of the era.

She is built from 5 year seasoned strip Paraguan cedar, so tight that no caulking is required! The beautifully crafted timber interior is truly unique. Features include -
