Reinell 22

[Dave and Eli]

I have purchased a reinell 22ft sailboat from the original owner in near perfect condition. I understand that they aren't the greatest but I was wondering if anyone knew of where I might find a manual for it. Thank you

Why would you be asking for a manual for something as utterly simple as a Reinell22?

Perhaps you are not asking for information about how the boat functions mechanically? Perhaps what you really want to know is how to sail it, i.e. you are asking for an "operators manual"?

If so, there isn't any.

The skills required to handle a sailboat do not differ significantly from one make of boat to another, nor indeed from small boats to large boats. The basics of boat handling I could teach you in one Sunday on the water. To become a competent skipper takes a lifetime of experience in many different boats in many different weathers, and a good deal of what you have to know you learn from books. That is why we have Marine Academies.

The Reinell22 is a perfectly adequate little boat for learning the basics.

So tell us what it is you really want to know, and we'll get you off to a good start :-)

For a minute I thought I was on reddit.

Look for forums; users of the same boat will give you the best info.

Cute boat.
