30 metre custom from Greifswald

Apart from the convex boomerang bow, "Prevail" shares hardly any exterior similarities with the latest mini-series model Y7, whose crack also comes from the computers of US designer Bill Tripp and is currently very popular. The deckhouse, which Tripp developed in close consultation with the owner, indicates that the recently launched 29.77 metres is a pure custom format. His requirement: a clear view of the sea while sitting in the saloon. It is also typical of Solitär that the owner got involved with his favourite design studio via Winch Design. The London studio had the lower deck clad in oak and light and blue-grey leather and combined the charm of summer houses on the US East Coast with Scandinavian influences.

"Prevail" is the second yacht whose deck the Greifswald shipyard has planked with Lignia wood instead of teak. The British supplier of the same name sources the Monterey pine used from sustainably managed forest plantations. A lift keel with a draught of 2.81 to 4.64 metres retracts into the pigeon-blue carbon hull. Upwind, the 6.80 metre wide and 55.76 tonne displacement Tripp 90 carries 213.7 square metres of sail laminate from Doyle Sails on a rather high boom and 180.3 square metres on the forestay. After extensive testing on the Baltic Sea, the "Prevail", which is 29.77 metres long with bowsprit, goes to her US owner, who leaves her to Michael Schmidt Yachtbau for the duration of the Cannes Yachting Festival.
