BM 16m2

The BM 16 Square from 1967 is a classic sailboat that combines a rich history with a timeless design. Built by the renowned Kroeze shipyard, this boat is a testament to traditional craftsmanship with a wooden hull and deck, complemented by a polyester bottom. This makes the boat not only aesthetically appealing but also functional for various water conditions. With a length of 6 meters and a width of 2 meters, the BM 16 Square offers ample space for a comfortable day on the water. The draft of 90 cm allows for sailing on various inland waters and lakes, making the boat suitable for both beginners and experienced sailors. The clearance height of 40 cm is ideal for navigating under low bridges, making the boat versatile. The boat is equipped with a single wooden mast and has two sails: a jib and a mainsail. These sails are in reasonable condition, meaning they are still functional for recreational sailing. Steering is done via a tiller, which provides a direct and intuitive way of navigating. The sporty sailing characteristics of the BM 16 Square make it an enjoyable choice for a day out on the water. A notable feature of this boat is the outboard motor from the brand Mercury. This 5 HP long-shaft motor is hand-started and runs on gasoline. With a cruising speed and maximum speed of 8 km/h, the motor is suitable for leisurely trips on inland waters. The motor has a fuel consumption of 10 liters per hour and a tank capacity of 20 liters, which is sufficient for a day trip without frequent refueling stops. The boat comes with a road trailer specifically designed for the BM 16 Square. This trailer measures 600 x 200 cm and is unbraked. Although the trailer is in reasonable condition, it offers the possibility to easily transport the boat to different sailing locations. The BM 16 Square was recently out of the water for maintenance in 2024, during which an antifouling treatment was also carried out. This helps keep the hull free from fouling and contributes to the boat's performance and longevity. The BM 16 Square has mainly been used for day trips on the Eem and in the Randmeren, which attests to its suitability for inland waters. The boat is ideal for sailing enthusiasts looking for a classic sailing experience with a sporty character. With its wooden construction and timeless design, the BM 16 Square remains an attractive choice for sailors who value tradition and craftsmanship.
