A few weeks ago we received following mail from Mr. Wolfgang Willutzki: I'm the owner of a Trintella Ia from1969 with a fiberglas hull, teak deck and mahogany superstructure. The ship was bought in Holland in 2008 and has since been fully refurbished. Not only has she been restored where needed, she is now also fitted with today's technology.

After a short period of illness our treasurer and member of the comission Care and Maintenace  Henny Op de Weegh died on october 21.  Henny sailed after a Trintella II many years with the Trintella 42 Onyx in Greece.  As old -mechanic on the freighters of KPM was a real sailor. We thank Henny for his voor his dedication to our Association.
