TheTanzer 16 is a Canadiansailboat, that was designed byJohann 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 acuddy cabin.[1][3][5][6]
The boat was built byTanzer Industries inCanada 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]
