Following on from the takeover of Westerly Yachts by the Marigot Group, owners of Trintella Yachts, a new sales and marketing operation has been announced.

The European sales and marketing for Trintella will now be handled from an office at Hamble Point Marina shared with Westerly.

Westerly MD Ian Atkins said it was purely a marketing exercise and the two lines of yacht would retain their separate identities.

Two GRP composite Trintellas, the 42 and 47, are built at the Westerly plant at Waterlooville alongside Westerly models. The bigger, aluminium Trintellas will continue to be built in the Netherlands.
