Trintella IIb Skeleton Drawing

  1. Stern pulpit.
  2. Lazaretto (Lazaret) hatch. There is a great deal of space down here!
  3. Tiller.
  4. A fuel tank is behind this bulkhead.
  5. Tiny storage space under the cockpit seats.
  6. Storage space, one on each side of the cockpit. On Myste this space holds spare line, winch handles, flood light, flash lights, and tie-down straps.
  7. The cockpit benches are covered with teak slats (both sides). The floor is covered with teak cross-hatches.
  8. Quarter berths. Six feel long and rather narrow, they extend three feet into the salon and three feet under the cockpit bench seats.
  9. This appears to be pointing to the self-bailing system, which is under the cockpit floor. All bilge pumps and the four scuppers terminated here--- a bad design! The coskpit floods when the boat is powered in reverse. Myste will soon have this "feature" replaced.
  10. Points to the teak crossed hatches on the floor of the cockpit. There was very little support under these wood pieces, so stepping on them has cracked the wood. I have been adding small pieces of wood under the slats for better support.
  11. Starboard hondekooi.
  12. Engine--- Volvo Penta MD2.
  13. Some kind of fluid tank--- "Brandstoftank." I have no certain idea what this is, but Myste has one--- with a hose going into it. I'll need to see where that hose leads. Perhaps this is a ballast tank, though I suspect it was once the fuel tank. It holds 60 liters.
  14. Fold-down chart table. This hangs outboard of the starboard quarter berth, and folds down to cover half of the quarter berth.
  15. Blige sump. The image shows a hose in the sump; that hose leads to a brass hand pump that is located next to the fuel tank (behind point number 4, forward). This hand pump has long since ceased to function, so a Whale hand pump has been added, plus an electric Ruel bilge pump has been added. The sump is very narrow, so getting the Rule pump and float switch down there was very difficult.
  16. Water tank. I use this only for washing--- never drinking. Specification reads 135 liters.
  17. This is a plank of wood that folds down for a seat so one may sit when working on charts at the fold-down chart table (in the direction the arrow shows). Myste has this seat, but it is not attached.
  18. Two-burner liquid propane stove, with roll gimbal. It is covered when not in use.
  19. Stainless steel sink, with a Whale hand pump. This hand pump was my second repair job on Myste, and it costs a large amount of money to buy the repair kit. The original pump had a cork washer / bushing! I replaced it with neoprene.
  20. Dining service--- 22 plates, 4 coffee cups, 6 saucers, 5 cups, 1 boild egg holder, and even a candle holder. Myste has the original set, placed on board in 1967ce. Printing on the backs of the dishes read "Fris Edam Made in Holland." There is also a drinking mug from Holland made in 1986, which has printed on the bottom "Norelco. Delfts Blauw Handpainted Made in Holland 1986 AD."
  21. Formica countertop.
  22. Propane space heater. When I first tried to light it I filled the boat with propane accidently and made a small explosion inside the salon--- the ball of flame knocked me on my ass.
  23. Kitchen storage.
  24. Hanging closet--- for clothing.
  25. Lead ballast.
  26. Salon bench. The back of the bench folds up and converts into a berth.
  27. Salon door, seperates the salon from the hanging closet area / toilet.
  28. Cabinets. The one pictured contains a stero speaker on Myste.
  29. Raritan hand-pumped toilet ("onderwaterlijncloset").
  30. Stainless steel washing basin with foot pump (in Dutch that's "wasbak met voetpomp"). The drain also provides a vacuum-break for the toilet.
  31. Storage space.
  32. Vee-berth.
  33. Tabernacle-stepped mast heel. (Naturally there is a compression post under it, leading to the keel.) The mast may be lowered and raised, though it is a chore.
  34. Aluminium mast and boom.
  35. Foreward hatch.
  36. Rail stanchions, stainless steel.
  37. Teak deck planking over polyester.
  38. Polyester pipe, which wires are routed to the navigation lights.
  39. Anchor rode locker.
  40. Stainless steel bow fitting, with a roller for an anchor shank.

There are many things in the drawing above that are not mentioned. Note the mast has a winch on both sides, with built-in winch handles; the toilet area has two vents; there is a door between the toilet area and the Vee-berth; the salon table swings inboard and outboard where needed; there are storage spaces scattered throughout the vessel, the chief of which is under the Vee-berth; the stern pulpit on Myste holds two horseshoe-shaped crew-overboard flotation devices.
