Op 13 juni bereikte ons het bericht van overljden van Wim van Steijn. Wim en Ruth zijn jarenlang zeer trouw lid geweest van de TVK, daarnaast was Wim vele jaren lid van het team Behid en Techniek.   Wel bekend in de “Classics” community. Tijdens de reünies in het Noorden waren ze meestal van de partij en trok hun Trintella la, de Silence altijd ruime aandacht vanwege de prachtige staat waarin hun boot verkeerde, maar ook vanwege de vele slimme aanpassingen die Wim had gedaan aan zijn boot zonder de onmiskenbare authenticiteit te verliezen.  We wensen Ruth veel sterkte met dit verlies.

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.

Yachtbuilder Joop Doomernik announced two new sailingyachts which get the name Trintella .  The ships are  45 and 50 feet long and designed by  German Frers.
