The Tanzer 16 is a Canadian sailboat, that was designed by Johann Tanzer and first built in 1963. The design is out of production.[1][2][3][4]
Derived from the similar 1963 Constellation 16, the Tanzer 16 design was developed into the Overnighter 16 in 1964, by the addition of a cuddy cabin.[1][3][5][6]
Production
[edit]The boat was built by Tanzer Industries in Canada and remained in production until the company went out of business in 1986.[1][7]
The boat's class association acquired the tooling for the design after Tanzer Industries closed down, but it is unknown if more examples have been produced since then.[1]
Design
[edit]The Tanzer 16 is a small recreational sailing dinghy, built predominantly of fibreglass, aluminum spars and oiled teak wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a roller-reefing boom, a transom-hung kick-up rudder, a spooned stem and a kick-up centreboard keel. It displaces 450 lb (204 kg) and has foam flotation.[1][2][3]
The boat has a hull speed of 5.29 kn (9.80 km/h) and is capable of planing. Its broad beam and low centre-of-gravity result in increased stability.[2][3]
The design has a Portsmouth Yardstick racing average handicap of 98.3.[3]
