CRAZY HORSE is a custom jetboat conceived as a modern take on the classic American Commuter. Delivered in 2001, she was well ahead of her time featuring a hull built with advanced composites and Kevlar, joystick controls, and waterjets that delivered shallow draft and a top speed of 44 knots. After years out of sight and multiple owners, Lyman Morse recently contacted Tripp Design to announce that her current owner has commissioned a major refit - restoring this iconic vessel to her original vision and glory.

Meet Mist,
a 45-foot custom sailing yacht crafted by Rockport Marine and launched in 2021.

Mist proves that bespoke design isn’t just for superyachts—every size can reflect its owner’s vision. At Tripp Design Naval Architecture, we specialize in creating custom yachts of all sizes, ensuring that every detail, layout, and feature aligns with your goals and the way you want to sail.

“What made this project truly special,” says Bill Tripp, “is that the owner wanted us to challenge every idea—bringing the level of innovation we put into larger yachts into the confines of a 45‑footer, and pushing the art forward.”

A fully custom yacht offers something no production yacht can: the freedom to shape every aspect of your sailing experience, from the performance to the smallest detail.
