The Tripp Lentsch 29 represents a hallmark collaboration between the American naval architect William "Bill" Tripp Jr. and the prestigious Dutch yard, Amsterdam Shipyard G. de Vries Lentsch. Launched in the early 1960s, this 28’11” sloop emerged during the transition from wood to fiberglass, combining the heavy-displacement, sea-kindly characteristics of the CCA (Cruising Club of America) era with the then-nascent advantages of glass-reinforced plastic (GRP). As noted in the De Vries Lentsch historical records, the shipyard established a dedicated fiberglass division in 1959, and the Tripp Lentsch 29 became one of its most enduring exports, particularly to the North American market where Bill Tripp's designs were highly coveted.
