Features That Will Set New Standards
Every Trinka
dinghy we build includes all the standard features we think a tender must
have to provide the years of service you expect. Each feature contributes
to the ruggedness, safety and reliability of your Trinka, and provides a cruise-ready
dink right out of the shop.
 |
The hand-laid fiberglass
hull is beautifully fair, and finished with gelcoat inside and out.
|
|
|
The inwale and
outwale are double laminates of quarter-sawn, 1/4" x 1 ¼" Teak sandwiching
the hull, epoxy glued, and stainless thru-fastened from alternating directions
on four inch centers. This gunwale construction can withstand years of slamming
and abuse |
|
|
The breast hook of 1 ½" Teak is fiberglassed to the hull from the underneath,
then bolted through this glass as well as the gunwale. This stiffens the bow,
increasing Trink's impact strength while providing a secure base for a bow cleat.
|
|
|
The quarter knees of 1 ¼" Teak are
epoxied and screw-fastened to the transom and gunwale. These stiffen the hull,
increase the rigidity of the transom and add to the Trinka's impact strength.
|
|
|
The transom is reinforced with solid Teak for outboard
and sailing-rudder strength. |
|
|
The bow and stern flotation seats are integral fiberglass
chambers. They're not only airtight, but oil and gasoline-tight, too. Construction
exceeds all Coast Guard requirements. |
|
|
Every Trinka is fitted with the best gunwale fender we've
found, of Dacron-covered, closed-cell, flexible urethane foam. This fender
is far superior to all others we've seen, from pop-rivited plastic flange
coverings to laced rope. We install it with monel staples (hidden, about every
inch) on the upper and lower edges of the outwale Trinka must. If it begins
to show wear (probably some years), it can be removed and inverted for another
tour of duty. The transom ends are finished with leather.
|
|
|
Cove Stripe/sheer strake lines are scribed into the
hull for the addition of second or third colors. And every Trinka receives
a gold Mylar™ cove stripe. |
|
|
Of course, your Trinka must have have oarlock sockets.
We install two pairs in each dinghy (solid Bronze, ½" bore)
|
|
|
The center rowing
position is perfect for one person or three, and bow-rowing position is best
with only one passenger sitting aft. If you really want to move, you can row
in tandem with one or two pairs of oars. |
|
|
A ½" solid-wood center thwart of select Teak is installed with 3/16" fiberglass
flanges and thru-bolts. |

Available Options
Every skipper has different requirements for his tender. On top
of Trinka's exceptional standard features, you can choose from our list of optional
goodies and make your dink a real little yacht. Use the "Trinka Tinker Sheet"
to order the boat you want.
Sailing Model
Teak Floorboards
Bilge Bailer
Stainless Steel Transom Molding
Davit Lifting System
Bronze Cleats
Bottom Skids
Professional Lettering
Sailing Model: The Trinka sailing model comes fully-equipped
with mast, boom, Dacron sail, dagger board trunk, dagger board, rudhe bailer is a Elvstrom™ trap door
type bailer, and it can completely purge a swamped Trinka in about five minutes
at five knots. We know - We've done it!
Stainless Steel
Transom Molding: If you've ever had to row out an anchor, you know how
an anchor chain will chew up the upper edge of your transom. To prevent such
damage, we'll install a protective and very attractive Stainless-steel transom
molding.
Davit Lifting System: If you wish to be able to lift your dinghy on davits or a halyard,
we will install a three-point stainless-steel wire lifting system. Let us know
the distance between your davit tips so we can correctly locate the lifting
pad eyes.
Bronze Cleats:
Your Trinka can accommodate three cleats; the breast hook and
two-quarter knees. We'll install polished bronze cleats for you. They are three
inches long, thru-bolted with large washers and lock nuts.
Bottom Skids: We think bottom
skids are a real must for the serious cruiser who lands on a lot of rough beaches.
We'll bed and thru-bolt four skids of ½" x ¾" oak to help preserve your Trinka's
bottom paint and retard wear of the fiberglass. They'll also strengthen your
Trinka.
Professional Lettering:
Now that you have decided to own the boating world's finest dinghy
and yacht tender, wouldn't it be a shame to botch the transom lettering job
and/or registration numbers? We have at our disposal one of the finest lettering
men in the country who will give our new Trinka that final professional touch.
We need your own ideas on colors, letter style and design, then we'll send you
a sketch of our proposal and agree upon a price.
