Trintella 53
Description
The TRINTELLA 53 is a magnificent 53.9-foot masthead ketch designed by the legendary Dutch naval architect E.G. van de Stadt and built by Anne Wever Shipyard (later Trintella Yachts) in the Netherlands from 1982 to 1989. This yacht represents the zenith of the fiberglass era for the Anne Wever shipyard, standing as the largest and most ambitious Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) model ever produced by the Dutch yard. Only 9 units were built during the seven-year production run, making this an extremely exclusive design that marked the end of an era before the shipyard transitioned to aluminum construction.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
