The Trintella 29 is a long-keeled cruiser engineered for challenging conditions, offering heavy displacement with an ?S-framed? hull prioritising stability and directional tracking over speed. Starsight has been lovingly maintained by her current owners and has benefitted from recent upgrades, including a 28 HP Yanmar engine, gear box, prop shaft and stern tube all new in 2022. If you are looking for a timeless classic with elegant lines, at an affordable price, this is worth a look. Viewing by appointment only through the Suffolk Officeor email:
