This Trintella 42 is an impressive, solidly built ship. The current owner has owned her for 43 years and he did not skimp on updates and maintenance. Whether you have ambitions to explore the world’s oceans or to go cruising closer to home, this spacious, sturdy yacht with excellent sailing characteristics may be just the boat you are looking for.When you step on board, you will notice that the cockpit is spacious and deep for comfort and protection. The wide side decks and practical deck layout provide safe and easy maneuvering.

Inside, you are welcomed by a well-designed, warm and nautical interior. Seute Deern has a combination of the two layouts that were offered. She has a owner's pullman berth forward with an opposite-facing hanging locker with seat. Her owner’s head is in the forepeak. There is a deck access sail locker with chain locker access in front of the head and a guest quarter cabin aft to port-side with an offshore head aft to starboard. Her galley is to port just forward of the companionway with an oversized outboard-facing nav station to starboard. Her salon features two spacious C-shaped opposite settees. The port side is larger and serves as a dinette and the starboard side offers a smaller, removable table.

Overall, this Trintella 42 is a spacious, beautiful and very solid ship. She is equally perfect for long-distance cruising and for having a relaxing, fun day on local waters.

Seller’s Comments

I shipped her back to her builder, Trintella Shipyard in s’ Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands in December 2000 and she was returned to me in July 2001. I have a copy of the original contract

to cover the intended work as well as the final invoice after the work was completed. The total money I paid for that work amounted to Euro 132,000 ($153,500), including renewing the entire electrical system and new balsa core and teak deck being the major items.
