The Tripp 47 represents a sophisticated intersection of custom-level performance and high-end production capability, emerging from a celebrated collaboration between Tripp Design and the specialized craftsmen at Carroll Marine. Launched in the mid-1990s, the 47 was designed as a "dual-purpose" yacht, capable of competing in offshore racing circuits while providing the amenities and stability required for comfortable fast-cruising. Built in Warren, Rhode Island, the vessel utilized Carroll Marine’s expertise in vacuum-bagged composites, featuring a hull and deck constructed of E-glass, Kevlar, and epoxy resin over a PVC foam core. This advanced construction allowed the Tripp 47 to maintain a significantly lower displacement-to-length ratio than its contemporaries, without sacrificing the structural rigidity necessary for bluewater passages.
