Trinka 12' Racing Dinghy, 1994 and 2002 galvanized trailer.
Tampa, Florida
These boats are the Cadillacs of sailing dinghys.
The Trinka has no chips, cracks or other damage.
Its mast is a two piece mast for trailering.
The sail is like new.
The mast and boom are all aluminum, and are in good condition.
The fiberglass kick-up rudder is in good shape as is the centerboard
The trailer absolutely has no rust (fresh water sailed). Trailer tires and spare are great (no cracks)
The lights work and the trailer is ready for the road.
Mostly kept under a carport.
Designer Bruce Kirby (of Laser and America's Cup fame) has designed a hull with traditional and classic looks that will plane readily, is comfortable to sail, surprisingly seaworthy, and easy to right in case of capsize. The self-draining cockpit quickly eliminates water when under way and makes it possible to leave the Trinka 12 safely unattended at a mooring.

I could not sell the Trinka locally, but the Sailing Texas ad caught the eye of a very knowledgeable buyer 2 states away. Thank you Sailing Texas.
