Welcome to my solo venture with SV Jacaranda, a Van der Stadt Trintel 1 sailboat, which Ive just begun to restore. Acquired for £427 from eBay UK, this all-metal construction vessel boasts a rich history and an exciting future.
As both owner and restorer, I'm diving deep into the project, exploring the intricacies of the Trintel 1 design and the legacy of Van der Stadt boat makers. SV Jacaranda represents the epitome of durability and craftsmanship, and I'm committed to restoring her to her former glory while adding modern touches for enhanced functionality.
Follow along as I meticulously tackle each aspect of the restoration, from hull repairs to interior refurbishment. Through this journey, I aim to share practical insights and lessons learned, providing valuable information for fellow boat enthusiasts and aspiring restorers.
Stay tuned for progress updates, challenges overcome, and the eventual triumphant launch of SV Jacaranda into new waters. Together, let's embark on this adventure of restoration and discovery.
