WHY CHOOSE A TRINKA?
  • 8 foot and 10 foot models available for rowing and sailing and powering
  • Holds up to the rugged cruising service that destroys most other dinghy’s
  • Looks like the fine boat she is … not a cheap bargain or plastic tub
  • 10’ can carry four adults plus gear, 8’ can carry three adults plus gear.
  • Doesn’t have to be blown up, won’t deflate and won’t flip over in high winds!
  • Easy to row/sail and gets up to 15 feet per stroke
  • Keeps you and your gear dry when the others are getting drenched

What Makes a Trinka a Trinka:

  • Ample freeboard for greater capacity and increased safety and dryness in choppy conditions

  • Hollow bows and run for almost effortless rowing, easy level towing and sailing performance.
  • Enough transverse stability to support 120 pounds / 54 kilo of gunwale loading without shipping water. Longitudinally a 150 pound / 68 kilo swimmer can climb into the Trinka from the transom without fear of swamping and even stand on the forward seat or breast hook for reaching those excessively high seawalls and jetties
  • Classic, high end sheers for dryer rough water rowing, powering and sailing
  • Long, straight keel / skeg profile for extremely stable tracking when rowed or towed, as well as more uniform weight distribution when landed
  • All hand-laid fibreglass hull construction … no chopper gun or vacuum molding: 1/8 of an inch (4mm) at sheer, 3/16 of an inch (3mm) at bottom, ¼ of an inch (5mm) at stem, forefoot and skeg
  • Deep, wide molded skeg for bilge drainage, easy bailing, greater landing strength and directional stability
  • Thoroughly rounded hull shape for inherent strength, for rowing, sailing and powering performance, and for traditional beauty
