The organisers Frans and Yvonne Slikkerveer (former: Trintella IIIa, Liv, now: Pilot 44, Liv) made an interesting programme for us. 84 persons had seen a lot of Dordecht, used a nice lunch and dinner and learned a lot at the visit of Traffic Center Dordrecht.

The Spring Meeting in Andijk and Enkhuizen was a great success. As per usual, one of the participants of the meeting has penned down their personal report of the weekend. This time around it means two participants, the full crew of a Trintella Ia named WAd 2.0: Wouter Ernst and Ad Kamsma. Here is their story!

This year’s anniversary  Fall Reunion on Saturday November 17th  in ‘s Hertogenbosch was festive.  You can read a report by Astrid Ophof (Trintella IIa, Northwind) 

In our newsletter of March 2018 we mentioned the film Adrift, based on a book by Tami Oldham, in which a Trintella 44 named Hazana has an important role. After seeing this film, some of our members have recorded their experiences. 

The weather was – as pursuant to previous spring meetings – pleasant: it was sunny and the temperature was lovely, especially on Saturday.

You all remember the story of the Irène, a Trintella Ia, which had been neglected for many years in her home port of Colijnshaven. We have reported on this on many occasions in our Club Magazine, especially on our efforts to track down the owner and get in touch with them to ask them to take better care of the ship. After some time we managed to get in touch with the owners – Alain and Muriël – last March. We, Willem de Graaf, Peter van der Waa and your series coordinator Loet Geldhoff , and the owners, met on the Irène.

All members can be found in the Vriendenboek, together with – where relevant – the names of their partners and boats. It is also possible for members to upload pictures of yourself, your partner and your boat. That makes using Vriendenboek even more effective and attractive.
To stimulate using Vriendenboek, we made it even more attractive!
