The CL 16 is a Canadian-designed 16' sloop sailboat, designed by Henry Croce and Ken Lofthouse in 1967-68 in Mahone Bay, NS. It is essentially the same design as the Wayfarer dinghy, with the addition of a double-hull and a more comfortable cockpit for recreational users. It was produced in Mahone Bay until 1970 when production was moved to the Toronto area. It continues to be produced by a Canadian company (C&L Boatworks) in Fort Erie, on Lake Erie, which began production in 1993 after being produced in Pickering ON since 1970. .〔 The CL 16 is an open cockpit boat that is extremely seaworthy and unsinkable due to a double hull design. CL16's and their Wayfarer cousins have circumnavigated the Great Lakes, and have crossed the North Sea. They can be easily modified to run a spinnaker and/or trapeze. The CL 14 represents a smaller version of this stable craft, and that design shares dimensions resembling the Wanderer. The design is said to be based upon the Ian Proctor's Wayfarer with tweaks by Graham Dodd and George Blanchard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CL 16 )〕 Unlike the Wayfarer, the class permits use of a trapeze.〔 The boat uses a retractable Centerboard. The sail plan consists of a marconi rig with a main, jib, and symmetrical spinnaker. On the other hand, the iteration that was produced by C&L Boatworks first appeared in 1968; its strict one design has remained unchanged since then.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CL 14/16 -- built to last for the long haul )〕 The mast has a pin through it that acts as a pivot point, which is held in a tabernacle. When rigged with a tackle on the forestay, it can be lowered to pass beneath bridges. The pivot also facilitates mast raising. As of 2013, it has a Portsmouth Yardstick rating of 95.4. The C&L website says the rating is 97.〔 The CL boatbuilder website differs from a sailmaker's statements about the rig's size. It claims that the boat carries sails that are: ''Main'' 95 sq.ft. 8.83 sq.m; ''Genoa'' 46 sq.ft. 4.27 sq.m.〔 ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CL 16」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
