Ballast keel: Trintella 57’s have been built with different keel options. The lead ballast weights approximately 9.500 kg. Hull and superstructure painted in 2000 and in 2010 Vuurvogel was not only completely repainted, she was completely stripped. All deck gear, port lights and hatches were dismantled. The original teak decks were removed and under the WL the hull was sand blasted to bare aluminium. A new AWL-grip paint system was applied. The hull colour is white. The superstructure is white. The hull, above the WL, and the superstructure is thermo insulated by a 20 mm closed cell foam. In 2010 Vuurvogel had all new teak decks. For the teak decks, quarter-sawn and seamed teak planks with no visible fastenings were used. Using the vacuum method on epoxy glue. The planking is ribbed into the king plank and the decking is installed with margin boards around hatches and superstructure sides. All clamps, rails and deck mounted blocks are not bolted through the teak deck but have an anodized aluminium base. 

 

Centre cockpit layout: Vuurvogel has two cockpits: a centre cockpit and a separate steering cockpit. The centre cockpit is partly covered by the fixed doghouse with excellent all-round views. The roof of which incorporates a bimini to cover the whole cockpit if desired. The doghouse gives good shelter, both in bad weather and burning sunshine conditions. The central window can be opened for ventilation. The centre cockpit features a second steering position and a large fixed dining table that gives room up to 6 people. The cockpit floor has a keen three level layout that gives an easy access to the saloon. 

Steering cockpit layout: The separate steering cockpit has a single steering wheel.  Inox grip rails at the cockpit side provides good handhold. Access to all 6 winches on the cockpit sides is excellent. A separate bimini behind the steering cockpit can cover the steering position. Bathing platform The stern incorporates a platform. This area includes a fold-down SS bathing ladder and a SS step to access the stern deck. There is a hot and cold freshwater deck shower on the bathing platform. There are davits for a dinghy.

Forward of these cabins there are two heads with each a toilet and washbasin, joining one central shower cubicle further forward. In the bow there is a workshop with storage for spare parts, tools etc. only accessible from deck with a water tight door and a collision bulkhead.  

Central in the yacht there is an enormous ‘full width saloon, with the forward facing navigation station to starboard. Further afterwards there is a very spacious walk through galley that gives access to the ‘walk-in’ engine room and the aft. cabin.

Under the gimballed cookers is a normal domestic sized Panasonic combi-microwave oven with browning element. Over the cooker there is a retractable 24 volt ventilation hood. Under the inside looking additional work surface there is a domestic size washer/dryer. Saloon To port is a very large C-shaped settee and table in the unique Trintella layout. With the table folded there is a dining table (110x85 cm) for four and an easy access sitting area beside of it with two small round tables for glasses. With the table unfolded a very large dining table (110x170 cm) for 8 people is created. Opposite there is a round bar for bottles and glasses. To starboard is a large forward facing navigation station with lots of space for electronic equipment. This equipment is placed in teak panels that can easy be changed to adopt new or different equipment. The saloon is light and airy with full length fixed windows at deck level on both sides. Three opening hull ports and two hatches provide ventilation. The access from the saloon to the cockpit is a very easy going three steps stairs. Forward cabins Forward the mast there are two twin guest cabins with upper (200x70 cm) and lower berth (75x200 cm). Starboard and port identical. In the centre are two large hanging lockers, accessible from both sides. These forward cabins have each a heads compartment, incorporating a toilet, washbasin and storage.
