Owners Comments
Purchased by her present owners in 1989, "Gwen II" is a Van de Stadt designed Trintella 3A. She has been sailed by her present owners for pleasure use with holidays in Holland & Belgium from 1990 to 2013. Lately she has been sailed rather less. Her last survey was in 1987, her engine was replaced with a new Beta 43 in 2007. Overall, perhaps needing some cosmetic improvement but with a potential to make a great offshore cruising yacht.
