100' Reesle

The brief from the owner of "Reesle" was for a no-nonsense expedition schooner, a super-strong and super-safe design that would be more of a ship than a yacht. She therefore has a reinforced hull, six watertight bulkheads, full-length bulwark and an ‘over-sized’ equipment roster that includes twin engines, twin gensets and double variable pitch propellers. Her schooner rig with in-mast furling is exceptionally sturdy; hydraulic captive winches and a relatively high freeboard add to the explorer feel. "Reesle" has two cockpits - the ‘social’ forward cockpit and the aft cockpit with a doghouse in front - and a large wheelhouse containing an extensive array of navcom equipment. We are currently designing a similarly styled 195 foot three-mast schooner for the same owner.
