Interior

The interior is like most other boats made of teak.
The boat is equipped with 7 berths and a galley.

Rig

The boat equipped with a ketch rig.

Keel

The Trintella V is equipped with a long keel. A long keel provide a better directional stability than a similar boat with a fin keel; on the other hand, better directional stability means also that the boat is more difficult to handle in a harbour with less space.

The boat can only enter major marinas as the draft is about 1.80 - 1.90 meter (5.91 - 6.21 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Engine

Trintella V is typically equipped with an inboard Perkins diesel engine at 115.0 hp (85 kW).

Sailing characteristics

This section covers widely used rules of thumb to describe the sailing characteristics. Please note that even though the calculations are correct, the interpretation of the results might not be valid for extreme boats.

Immersion rate

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Trintella V is about 399 kg/cm, alternatively 2239 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 399 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 2239 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.
