The CL 16, or CL16, is a Canadian sailing dinghy that was designed by Ian Proctor, Graham Dodd and George Blanchard, as a cruiser and daysailer, and first built in 1968.[1][2][3]

The CL 16 is a development of Proctor's 1957 Wayfarer design and is identical in dimensions and shape, with differences only in interior details. Proctor considers it an unauthorized copy.[1][4][5]

Production

The design has been built by C&L Boatworks since 1968 in Belleville, Ontario and more recently in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. It remains in production.[1][6][3][7]

Design

Henry Croce and Ken Lofthouse of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia started as importers of the wooden Wayfarer, until a labour strike in the UK cut off the supply. They had the boat adapted for fibreglass construction and started their own production line as C&L. Ian Proctor considered it an unauthorized copy of the Wayfarer.[5][8]

The CL 16 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fibreglass, with mahogany wood trim. It has double-chined; planing hull; a fractional sloop rig; a raked stem; a plumb transom; a transom-hung, kick-up, fibreglass rudder with an aluminum head, controlled by a tiller and a retractable centreboard. Unusually for a dinghy the mainsail is equipped with one set of reefing points. The boat displaces Шаблон:Convert.[1][3]

The boat has a draft of Шаблон:Convert with the centreboard extended and Шаблон:Convert with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]

A motor bracket is a factory option, to allow the boat to be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring.[1][3]

The boat is designed to be sailed by a crew of two, but can accommodate up to six people.[3]

For sailing the design may be equipped with a spinnaker and a trapeze.[3]
