English
The 3A was the first of the real cruising yachts made by Trintella. She is rigged as a ketch with a raised after-deck. Her unique feature is the large, deep centre-cockpit which offers the helmsman optimal protection against the elements. The yacht has much well-designed space with many storage lockers. The large diesel tanks (2x150l.) and water tank make her very suitable for long distance travels. The rear cabin is spacious and the saloon very comfortable. With a good-sized chart table, galley area, separate heads and forward sail storage area she provides very flexible accommodation. Etoile de Mer was purchased in Holland in 2018, refitted in the Netherlands and sailed to Scotland in 2019.
