Current Price: 55,000 USD
Location: Richmond, VA, USA
YW# 74916-3177214
Voodoo 2 (originally known as Promises) was custom built by Holby Marine and has spent most of her life sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. Having sailed on and against this racing yacht for many years, I can speak first-hand as to her quality and performance. Designed in the early IMS rating era, the Tripp 38 benefits from a very fair hull shape producing an attractive and classic yacht. The wide-open cockpit is comfortable and easy to maneuver; designed for fluid crew work.
Voodoo has been optimized for windward/leeward course racing but is also competitive in distances races having done such races as Annapolis-Newport and Newport-Bermuda. She is an upwind machine, tacking and easy to sail downwind in full control. In short, she is a great boat.
