port, Conn. ) . At the time of writing, thirty-two have already been built and 

 forty are under construction, or seventy-two in all. This and the Triangle 

 32, according to Warren G. Dellenbaugh of U. S. Yachts, were "designed 

 primarily for optimum cruising conditions, both space and sailing ability, 

 and then everything was done to make them as fast as possible within the 

 various racing categories that they fill. This is perhaps a reverse concept but 

 it is one that results in probably the best compromise of two-berth and six- 

 berth auxiliaries respectively." 



There is no class association at the present time but detailed information 

 may be sought from the Triangle Marine Company (5395 St. Paul Blvd., 

 Rochester, N.Y. ). The principal sailing areas are the Great Lakes, New Eng- 

 land, and the Middle Atlantic states, though there is said to be interest on 

 the West Coast. 



The Triangle 20 is a keel-centerboard boat, built of fiber glass, with two 

 berths, a small galley, and a semiprivate head. Price is $4200 with sails. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. 2o'6"; waterline i6'8"; beam y'l''; draft 

 without centerboard 2'2", with C.B. 4'9''; sail area 205 sq. ft.; displacement 

 2300 lbs.; power is outboard through a well. 



TRIPP 30 



The Tripp 30 was designed by William H. Tripp, Jr., and is imported 

 from Europe by Seafarer Fiber Glass Yachts (205 E. 42nd St., New York 

 17, N.Y. ). About thirty of these fiber-glass sloops are reported built or under 

 construction. This is an attractive boat. Overhangs are fairly long and are 

 characteristic of Tripp boats. Seafarer claims for her a "sensational racing 

 record" in both Eastern circuits and on the Great Lakes. 



Her regular accommodations include two berths in the main cabin and 

 two forward, though two extra folding berths may be added in the main 

 cabin if desired. Headroom is 6'i". There are also an enclosed head and 

 galley and many other facilities such as would be found on a well-designed 

 boat of this size. She can be obtained with a yawl rig if desired. 



Price is about $13,000 without sails. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. 3o'4"; waterline 20'; beam 8'6''; draft 

 (keel) 4'6"; sail area (sloop) 369 sq. ft., (yawl) 394 sq. ft.; power, 30-h.p. 

 Universal Atomic Four.
