Admittedly: At best, the designs are linked to the legendary Trintella 1A by the white coachroof or the love of quality in construction. You won't find the clunky designs of the Achterkastel designs in the pretty new Trintellas either. But the love for the brand is there: "I grew up next to the shipyard," says Doomernik. "That's where I saw the ships being built. And that's why I decided to become a boat builder myself."
That worked. In addition to legendary kites, Doomernik also builds Wally Nanos. He is moored on the jetty in St Tropez with one of these. Coincidentally next to him: Germán Frers. He is impressed by the build quality of the Nano. They get talking. Over a glass of wine, Doomernik shows the Argentinian designer some sketches he has in mind for new Trintellas. He takes a look at the idea and immediately knows what to do. The Dutch boat builder had already secured the trade mark rights. Incidentally, the source of ideas for the first sketches was none other than John Lammerts van Bueren, known to wood lovers among sailors as a supplier of exquisite materials for yacht building.
Now the brand is starting its second life. Hulls and decks have a modern design and are built in composite with carbon fibre components. The boats are consistently designed for two people, especially below deck. They are large daysailers rather than touring boats. The finest wood is used. The masts are made of carbon fibre, if desired, and the propulsion is from Yanmar.
It is still unclear when the first new Trintella will be launched. However, according to the shipyard boss, there is undoubtedly interest.
