This senior member of the American Fiberglass Fun fleet was designed for a family of four, or as a weekender for two couples. She is a complete little family yacht, sporting vee-berth accommodations for two in her 7' cuddy cabin and 7' of cockpit for stretch out room. The molded-in bunks conceal two large storage compartments and the tabernacle mast allows for fast and easy rigging. The rigging design features sloop rig simplicity, with the novice sailor in mind. With centerboard design for trailering, beaching, and shallow anchoring, it features anodized aluminum sparring roller reefing boom, stainless steal hardware, Dacron sails, durable fiberglass construction, positive foam floatation, and simplicity of design. The American 16 is offered complete with sails, mast, and boom, standing rigging and cabin cushions, ready for a weekend of fun.
