Designed by renowned naval architect William Tripp and built by Pearson Yachts from 1964 to 1969, this classic masthead yawl represents mid-1960s cruising yacht design at its finest. With only twelve hulls produced during its five-year production run, the Invicta II remains a rare find in today's market. At nearly 38 feet overall with a moderate 25-foot waterline, this fiberglass yacht strikes an appealing balance between performance and comfort. The substantial 17,750-pound displacement and deep 8.6-foot draft provide excellent stability and seaworthiness, making her well-suited for serious coastal cruising and offshore passages. Her comfort ratio of 41.04 indicates a motion that favors comfort over speed, while the capsize screening value of 1.63 reflects good offshore capability. The masthead yawl rig with 610 square feet of sail area offers versatile sail handling options, particularly valuable when cruising shorthanded or in varying conditions. William Tripp's design philosophy emphasized seaworthiness and traditional sailing qualities, evident in this yacht's proportions and layout. The combination of keel and centerboard configuration enhances both stability and shallow-water accessibility, expanding cruising possibilities for adventurous sailors seeking a capable, classic cruising yacht with proven blue-water credentials.
