The Tripp 36, designed by the renowned Bill Tripp and primarily constructed by Carroll Marine in Warren, Rhode Island, represents a pinnacle of the 1990s performance racercruiser era. Launched at a time when the International Measurement System (IMS) dictated design trends, the Tripp 36 managed to transcend strict rating rules by offering a hull form that remained competitive under PHRF and IRC long after the IMS faded. The collaboration between Tripp’s office and Carroll Marine resulted in a vessel that prioritized structural rigidity and weight savings without entirely abandoning the amenities required for coastal cruising. While the boat was born in the "Sailing Capital" of the Northeast, its reach extended globally, finding homes in competitive fleets across both the Atlantic and Pacific.
