Factsheet Grinde – Trinde
The Grinde, designed by renowned nautical architect Peter Bruun, is a timeless masterpiece that blends classic aesthetics with impressive performance. Its unmistakable Danish design turns heads in every harbor, while its robust build and wide beam ensure stability and comfort at sea. Under sail, the Grinde truly shines—fast, agile, and remarkably capable in strong winds. Even in challenging conditions, it maintains course with ease, making it a favorite among seasoned sailors. With its spacious interior and thoughtful craftsmanship, it’s more than just a yacht—it’s a sailing experience. The Grinde doesn’t just sail; it glides with purpose and grace. A true gem on the water.
Trinde is a dream come true for solo sailors seeking performance, reliability, and ease of handling. Designed with a layout that prioritizes single-handed sailing, every essential function—from sail trim to navigation—is conveniently managed from the cockpit, allowing for safe and efficient control in all conditions. Outfitted with a top-tier Monitor windvane steering system, the Trinde offers unmatched self-steering precision, making passages smooth and energy-efficient. Its good sail inventory ensures optimal performance across a range of wind strengths, while the overall condition of the vessel reflects good care given her age.
Trinde is a compact yet comfortable sailing yacht, perfect for Mediterranean adventures. With sleeping space for four, a functional and fully equipped galley, and a toilet with washing basin in the front cabin, it offers all essentials onboard. The 80-liter water tank and reliable 13 hp Yanmar engine ensure smooth cruising and self-sufficiency at sea. Trinde is not just a boat—it’s a trusted companion at sea.
