Trintella Iia Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Trintella IIa represents a crucial transition in the pedigree of Dutch yacht building, bridging the gap between the traditional steel "Trintel" era and the modern era of Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) construction. Designed by the legendary E.G. van de Stadt and built at the Jachtwerf Anne Wever shipyard, the IIa was conceived as a more durable and lower-maintenance alternative to its steel predecessor, the Trintel II. Measuring approximately 10.2 meters (33.5 feet), this auxiliary sloop carries the DNA of a true blue-water cruiser, characterized by a long keel, a high-aspect ratio rig, and the elegant, low-profile lines that became the signature of the Trintella brand during the 1960s and early 1970s. As noted by the Trintella Vriendenkring, the IIa was part of the initial series of fiberglass vessels that established Anne Wever’s reputation for "superyacht quality" in a production-sized package.
