Trinka 10
Description
The TRINKA 10 is a 10-foot sailing dinghy designed by Bruce Bingham and built by Johannsen Boat Works in Vero Beach, Florida. This elegant dinghy features a distinctive wine-glass transom, sweeping sheer, and plumb bow that makes it as beautiful to look at as it is to sail. The boat's fiberglass hull is hand-laid with teak trim providing inner and outer rails around the gunwales, reinforcing the transom, and forming the center seat. Forward and aft seats are fiberglass and form watertight compartments to provide positive flotation. The TRINKA 10 represents a modern interpretation of classic dinghy design, offering both sailing and rowing capabilities in a compact, manageable package. The boat can be built with a centerboard and trunk for sailing, or without if intended solely for rowing. The two-piece unstayed mast and boom are aluminum, making setup quite easy. Ceased production in 2017.
