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]
Derived from the similar 1963 Constellation, the Tanzer 16 design was developed into the Tanzer Overnighter in 1964, by the addition of a cuddy cabin.[1][3][4][5]
Production
editThe boat was built by Tanzer Industries in Canada and remained in production until the company went out of business in 1986.[1][6]
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]

editThe Tanzer 16 is a small recreational sailing dinghy, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a centreboard keel. It displaces 450 lb (204 kg).[1][2][3]
The boat has a hull speed of 5.29 kn (9.80 km/h).[2]
