Specifications
Classic Tripp Lentsch 29 sailing yacht
Anyone who falls for timeless lines and a design with character will quickly feel at home aboard this 1963 Tripp Lentsch 29. This classic sailing yacht was designed by William Tripp Jr. and built by Tripp— a name that still resonates warmly with lovers of traditional sailing yachts. With her S-shaped hull, tiller steering and sloop rig, she offers exactly that pure sailing feel many water sports enthusiasts are looking for. At the same time, the boat is practically laid out for a day on the water or a relaxed weekend away. She has been used on inland waters, which suits her size and handling characteristics perfectly.
With a length of 8.81 metres and a beam of 2.73 metres, the Tripp Lentsch 29 feels spacious enough for comfortable time on board, while still remaining easy to handle in the marina and at bridges. Her draft of 1.40 metres provides a fine balance between good tracking and accessibility. The air draft of approx. 9.90 metres makes her suitable for many cruising areas, and thanks to the self-draining cockpit you can sit outside comfortably and safely, even when the weather turns.
Tripp Lentsch 29 now in the online auction. Anyone can bid up to and including 18 May 2026.
What makes this Tripp Lentsch 29 so appealing?
This Tripp Lentsch 29 is a classic GRP sailing yacht with a design known for stability and a calm motion on the water. The owner describes her as solid and well built, with electronic updates carried out in 2019. For those searching terms such as classic sailing yacht, Tripp sailboat, Lentsch 29 for sale or sailing yacht with Yanmar diesel engine, this is an interesting example to view. Her combination of traditional sailing and practical amenities makes her attractive both to the enthusiast and to guests who like to sail along in comfort.
How is she set up for overnight stays?
Inside you’ll find a cosy dinette and the basic amenities to make life on board pleasant, such as a refrigerator, a cooker and mattresses. Headroom inside is approx. 1.65 metres, which suits the classic profile of this type of sailing yacht. She has two fixed berths plus two additional berths, making a weekend away with family or friends perfectly feasible. A manual toilet is on board; the toilet discharge goes directly overboard, something to consider depending on your cruising area and personal preference.
How does she sail and how does she manoeuvre in the marina?
Under sail she is sloop-rigged with a mainsail and jib. The sails are in reasonable condition, in line with the overall impression of the boat. The jib is fitted with a Furlex furling system from 2021, making reefing and rolling away underway easier. For manoeuvring in tight spaces there is an electric bow thruster on board— a welcome addition to a classic design. Steering is via the tiller from the cockpit, giving direct feedback from the boat and making sailing feel extra lively.
Which engine is installed and what can you expect?
She is equipped with an 18 hp Yanmar inboard diesel engine with electric start. The engine is operational, but a service is recommended. That is a logical point of attention for a boat you want to use with confidence for longer trips or frequent harbour manoeuvres. With diesel fuel and an inboard installation she is also nicely balanced, and the cockpit remains free of an outboard engine. For anyone looking for a sailing boat with a diesel engine or a sailing yacht with Yanmar, this is a relevant combination.
What equipment and technology are on board?
On board there is 12V electrics with two batteries, shore power and a battery charger. For navigation and basic information there are, among other things, a depth sounder, compass and speed log. Outside she is equipped with a sprayhood, guardrails, swim ladder and of course fenders and lines, so you can moor her neatly straight away. Also practical is the electric bilge pump. The ground tackle consists of one anchor with chain and a manual anchor windlass, fitting the character of a classic sailing yacht that likes to seek out a quiet anchorage.
In 2025 the boat was hauled out and antifouling was applied. It is known that the woodwork needs varnishing. This also offers a great opportunity to refresh her appearance to your own taste and bring out her classic charm even more. This Tripp Lentsch 29 is being auctioned via BoatAuction and invites discovery by someone who appreciates an honest, characterful sailing yacht with a warm story— such as sailing with the children and making memories together on the water.
