The Trintels en Trintellas are originally build by Shipyard Anne Wever in Den Bosch, The Netherlands. Initially Anne was the harbourmaster Yachtclub "De Viking" and he started building yachts in his spare time in 1953. By his father, who had been the skipper of the large sailingyacht Idunia, he was thaugth that a perfect finishing of ships was essential. So, Anne embraced this idea into perfection and his reputation grew. At the time he met the E.G. van de Stadt, through his daugther who also lived in Den Bosch, the designer asked him to build some Lightning yachts for him to export to the US. Anne accepted the assignment and this was the beginning of the long lasting cooperation between Anne and the famous designer. Rapidly the work grew and Anne also started to build other yachts, e.g. Junos, Pluisjes, Deltas and Junior Holidays.

In 1959 the export to the US declined and Anne asked Van de Stadt to make his own design. This became the Trintel I, named to a sandbank  in the IJsselmeer. The name "Breezand" was also thought of, but it was rejected because it didn't sound as well internationally. What a foresight ! The making of the hulls was outsourced to other shipyards, a.o. Dekker in Amsterdam. At the the Dutch boatexhibition Hiswa Anne had 2 main competitors; the ships of Marken and Trewes, but he sold 6 ships and they only 2, although the Trintel was more expensive. The perfect finishing made the difference.
In 1959 Tyler in Engeland had started the production of yachts made of GRP. Initially the yacht Glasslipper for his own and later also the Pionier (the first serial made yachts in GRP) . Both designed by Van de Stadt. Anne Wever also saw a future in the serial productions of GRP yachts and he asked Van de Stadt to design the GRP version of the Trintel I. This was the Trintella I. The hulls ware produced by Tyler Mouldings Ltd.in England, while Anne didn't want it at his shipyard. The Shipyard Anne Wever kept doing what it was good at: the finishing. Because Anne wanted the Trintella to stay a real ship, he completed the Trintella I with a wooden cabin. For Van de Stadt this was madness, but the Trintella's I and Ia became Annes most successful ships, in total 260 were built.
The next ship was the Trintella II, 9,50 m., also with a wooden cabin. The hulls were again produced by Tyler, but to Annes awfull surprise Tyler also sold these ships with a cabintop of GRP, called Harmony 32. So, when Anne met Van de Stadt at the London Boat Show he took him by the arm and stated that Van de Stadt had to make up on this. The retribution came shortly: the 10 meter Trintella 2a.

After the Trintella 2a the demand came for bigger yachts needing less extensive maintenance. The supply came by the Trintella III, its hull made by Polymarin in Amsterdam and de Trintella IIIa, its hull made by Tyler. At the time the Trintella IV and the Trintella V also were in production Anne was suggested that he might improve the speed of his ships. Van de Stadt designed the Trintella 38, but the speed was less than expected. Next the 44 was designed and in the beginning of the 80s the real fast Trintella 42. When Mr. Dieter Sieger intended to order such a ship, he requested to make a design of the interior himself; he was a professional interiordesigner. Anne agreed and Sieger introduced remarkabler round shapes. The Allpa factory produced some of the needed materials and Sieger became worldfamous.

In 1980 a difficult time aroused. The economy declined and there was a lack of orders. Anne had to dismiss  40 of his employees, but luckily he was able to hire some of them back again in the same year. At that time Anne also set up a inquiry, investigating the wishes of (future) yachtowners. The conclusion was that there was a demand for a ship built in aluminium and fitted out with a doghouse. Probably this was instigated by the first examples of osmosis with GRP yachts. The inquiry led to the design by V de Stadt of the Trintella 44a. Even the export to the US was restarted and the shipyard returned to its old glory.By the second half of the 80s Anne sold the shipyard to retire and the name was turned into Trintella Shipyards. Just recently the shipyard was sold again, it is now based in the USA.
