Special Invitation Spring meeting TVK 15 en 16 May in Bruinisse
Do you own a Trintella but are not (yet) a member of the Trintella Friends Association (TVK) or are you a member but have never attended a TVK gathering before? Then this is your chance. You are very welcome to join the TVK Spring Meeting on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 May to get to know other enthusiastic Trintella owners in a relaxed and informal way. You can also choose to attend part of the program.
We will be moored with the Trintellas at the visitors’ jetty of wsv Bru, Werkhavenweg 1 Bruinisse, directly behind the Bruinisse lock on the Grevelingen. With or without your own boat – we would also love to hear your stories and experiences. We are curious about your boat, where you usually sail, and whether you still have jobs on your to-do list. What modifications or clever solutions have you added in or on your boat? We undoubtedly have some nice tips and ideas for you as well. In any case, you will meet new people with the same interests.
This year we have a short programme. We start with a dockside drinks gathering on Friday 15 May 2026. All members and Trintella owners are welcome, with or without a boat. A great and sociable opportunity to exchange experiences with other Trintella owners or to have a look on board other Trintellas.
On Saturday 16 May there will be a race for those who want to participate. A very special chance to measure your own Trintella against the strength of other Trintellas! That said, we won’t be sailing with knives on the table – just with lots of enthusiasm.
You can also simply sail the route along for the fun and to enjoy watching the competition. If you come without a boat, we can see whether you can join a Trintella as crew for the race. After the race and the post-race chat, there will be a BBQ and prize-giving ceremony.
On Sunday morning it’s time to say goodbye and most boats will depart again.
Of course, it’s also perfectly fine if you only come for the dockside drinks, or just for the race, or only for the BBQ. If you are planning to go sailing during Ascension Day anyway, or if you are already in Zeeland, we would love to meet you at the TVK Spring Meeting in Bruinisse.

If you only come for the jetty drink, without a ship, you will not receive a payment request.
