An 88' World Cruiser by Tripp Design. The intent that this be first a 'sailing' yacht dictated the balance of two important factors to maximize performance, speed and ease the sail handling. A strong, light construction system using advanced materials and techniques was used to keep the displacement to a minimum. The lighter boat has smaller sails, lower loads, and a higher hull speed, all of which increase the ease and pleasure of sailing. The result is a thoroughly modern sailing yacht. In addition to her modern hull shape, features such as a carbon fiber rig, retractable spinnaker pole, water ballast, and hydraulic lifting keel are incorporated into the design. These features allow for high stability giving greater sailing comfort. The retracting keel allows access to shallow waters without sacrificing the sailing characteristics.
