About the INVICTA II (TRIPP)
Among a number of other hull and rig changes, the flush deck of the INVICTA is replaced with an extended coach roof on the INVICTA II. Both INVICTA'S were available as a sloop or yawl.
The Invicta II is a rare, heavy-displacement cruising yacht designed by William Tripp and built by Pearson Yachts (USA) between 1964 and 1969, with only 12 hulls produced. Its substantial displacement of 17750.0 lb and high D/L ratio of 507.14 reflect a design philosophy prioritizing seakeeping and comfort over speed.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for experienced coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize motion comfort and structural robustness over high-performance sailing. Its heavy displacement and full keel make it less ideal for single-handers or those seeking rapid planing capabilities.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low capsize ratio of 1.63 and a high comfort ratio of 41.04, the Invicta II is well-suited for bluewater cruising, offering excellent stability and a smooth ride in heavy seas.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Pearson 365 and other mid-1960s heavy-displacement yachts like the Tartan 36, which share similar full-keel designs and comfort-focused metrics. These vessels are comparable due to their shared era, builder lineage, and emphasis on stable, safe cruising characteristics.
