1992 Tripp 47

This 1992 Tripp 47 is a Bill Tripp design built around proven offshore racing credentials. With a hull length of nearly 47 feet and a beam of 13.78 feet, the boat combines the performance characteristics of a competitive ocean racer with the comfort and practicality demanded by extended cruising. The fiberglass construction has been maintained and upgraded throughout its life by knowledgeable owners focused on keeping the yacht competitive and seaworthy.

The boat carries a notable racing history, particularly in Australian offshore events. It has competed in the Sydney to Hobart race nine times, including a first place PHS Overall finish in 2015, second in Division 1 PHS in 2017, and multiple top-ten finishes across its campaigning years. Beyond the race record, the yacht has demonstrated the balance, strength, and seaworthiness required for serious offshore work.

The design philosophy underlying the Tripp 47 delivers both speed and self-sufficiency for family cruising. The boat has been continuously upgraded and maintained to a high standard by successive experienced owners, reflecting its dual purpose as both a competitive platform and a capable ocean-going home.
