The Trintella 29 is a long-keeled heavy displacement offshore cruising yacht with elegant traditional lines.  A classic van de Stadt design with quick, well-mannered performance and legendary seaworthiness.  This excellent example has been beautifully maintained and upgraded throughout her long ownership and is presented for sale in sail away condition.  Probably the best we've seen, so don't hesitate to view.
