Bill Tripp Classic Yawl - Price just reduced

This Bill Tripp designed classic yawl was christened “Wappen vonBremen”, and was built by the famous Joh. De Dood & Sohn boat yard in Bremen, Germany. This beautiful yacht has a history documented in books and folklore alike and was one of several “one designs”, originally built for sailing clubs in Hamburg and Bremen and later used as training vessels for young sailors.  Along with sister ship “Hamburg VII”, she has successfully competed in transatlantic-races, and sailed to the far reaches of the North Pole.
