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]
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][4]
Production
The boat was built by Tanzer Industries in Canada and remained in production until the company went out of business in 1986.[1][5]
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]

The 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]
