The Trac 16 (sometimes styled as the TRAC-16 or Trac-16) is an American catamaran sailboat that was designed by Steve Nichols as a day sailer and first built in 1983.[1][2]

Production

The design was built in the United States by the AMF Alcort division of American Machine and Foundry, starting in 1983. A total of 600 boats were completed, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Design

The Trac 16 is a recreational sailing dinghy, with a fractional sloop rig and its hulls built of fiberglass. The hulls have raked stems and plumb transoms with dual transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller. The boat displaces 359 lb (163 kg).[1][2]

The boat has no keels, but the hulls are asymmetrical and the "banana" shape provides some counter to leeway when sailing upwind. The boat has a draft of 9 in (23 cm), allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.35 kn (9.91 km/h).[2]
