Equipment of the hull and the deck

The hull of the Reinke M16 (2018) is entirely constructed from 15 mm naval aluminum, an exceptional feature that provides it with structural strength far superior to that of vessels of its length. This thickness, uncommon even in larger sailboats, offers safety, rigidity, and virtually unlimited durability. The hull design, characteristic of Reinke, is oriented towards ocean navigation, with lines designed to provide stability, efficiency, and predictable behavior in demanding conditions.

The vessel incorporates a double keel, which offers several key advantages:

Outstanding stability at anchor.
More comfortable navigation in rough seas.
Ability to ground at low tide without risk.
Capacity to perform work on the live bottom without the need for a slipway, even in remote areas without nautical infrastructure.
The deck is made of solid teak, 1.2 cm thick, installed with precision and attention to detail. This noble material not only provides aesthetics and thermal comfort but also excellent grip and wear resistance. The stainless steel handrails and stanchions enhance safety on deck, while the arrangement of elements facilitates movement and work while sailing.

The boat is equipped with 4 electric winches, allowing for the comfortable and safe handling of the mainsail, genoa, and asymmetrical sail. Both the roller mainsail and the roller genoa and asymmetrical sail are designed to facilitate maneuvers when sailing solo or with a reduced crew. All the rigging in Dyneema ensures strength, lightness, and reliability.

At the bow, there is a high-capacity windlass, accompanied by a 30 kg Bruce anchor and 60 meters of 12 mm stainless steel chain, providing secure anchoring even in adverse conditions. The vessel includes a bow thruster, facilitating maneuvers in narrow ports or with crosswinds.

The cockpit is spacious, protected, and functional. It features a hatch, teak table, outdoor shower, Harman Kardon sound system, work lights at the bow and stern, and a pirate light controlled from the helm. The boom cover, the bow awning, and the summer cushions allow for enjoyment of the deck both while sailing and at anchor.
