The Laguna 16 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by W. Shad Turner as a day sailer and first built in 1984.[1] [2] [3]

Production

The design was built by Laguna Yachts in Stanton, California, United States starting in 1981. The company had bought out Coastal Recreation, Inc of Costa Mesa, California and made it a subsidiary. Coastal Recreation's 1981 Balboa 16 design was developed into the Laguna 16 in 1984. Laguna went out of business in 1986 and the design is no longer in production.[1] [3] [4] [5] [6]

Design

The Laguna 16 is a small recreational keelboat. It is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a masthead sloop rig with anodized aluminum spars and a transom-sheeted mainsheet. The hull features a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed, shallow-draft fin keel. It displaces 10000NaN0 and carries 4000NaN0 of ballast.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 2.42feet with the standard keel. It is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1] [3]

The design has a hull speed of 5.13kn.[3]
