About the Paceship 32 Tripp Sailboat

Designed by the renowned Bill Tripp Jr. and built by Paceship Yachts of Canada, this capable bluewater cruiser earned a solid reputation among sailors seeking a reliable offshore passage-maker with genuine performance credentials. Paceship was well regarded through the 1960s and 1970s for producing well-built, thoughtfully designed fiberglass sailboats, and the 32 Tripp stands as one of the more respected models from that era. The Tripp design reflects its era's emphasis on seakeeping ability and comfortable offshore sailing, making it a natural fit for coastal cruising and extended bluewater passages. Bill Tripp's influence is evident in the hull's balanced proportions, which typically deliver a predictable and confidence-inspiring motion at sea. Sailors who have owned this model often speak to its sturdy construction and its ability to handle a range of conditions without drama. For a prospective buyer, the Paceship 32 Tripp represents an accessible entry point into a capable bluewater cruiser with genuine pedigree. As with any vintage fiberglass vessel, a thorough survey is essential, but well-maintained examples continue to attract attention from serious cruising sailors.
