Reinke 10M 34' thoughts for Arctic/Antarctic sailing

[MongolRally19]

Hey guys,

So still about a year out on buying my sailboat but I've been highly considering the Reinke 10M for a possibly ice filled adventures years down the line. As I know most would be squeamish about doing such travel in anything less than 40' for this kind of endeavor yet I've grown fond of the boat. Steel hull is a plus but can't find much else about it (did find one post from 8 years ago about `em on here that was helpful). Thoughts, concerns, any input on this selection?

Boat has nice lines, but does the interior setup suit your mission? Do you really need a dinette? Is the galley a bit far forward for using under way? That could make cooking more exciting than you'd like, sometimes. Cold meals with icebergs around...not fun. Where are people going to sleep under way on each tack? The v-berth won't be tenable in many conditions. The shipyard drawing shows an offset companionway hatch, which can be considered dangerous in knockdowns. The offset also increases cockpit volume (not a good thing if you take a wave) and there's only a minimal bridge deck. The information on the builder's site mentions nothing about insulation. Sprayed foam seems to be "the" thing for metal boats heading 'way North or South. If it, or any insulation, isn't done properly, condensation will cause rust everywhere you can't see.
We (and you) need to know more about this design. Have you been aboard one?
