  • sailboat : day-sailer (open transom) SPORT 16 CKD Boats
The Sportz 16 brief was for a fast and thrilling racing yacht with excellent performance high on the priority list, but yet at the same time it had to be easy to sail, with a comfortable cockpit for weekend day sailing for the family and a competitive racer without breaking the budget. The cockpit size and deck layout had to be carefully balanced to achieve this three fold role. The result is an attractive, easily to handle, 'club racer' or weekend day sailor.
The sailplan
The Sportz 16 supports a well-proportioned fractional rig balancing a non-overlapping self tacking jib for ease of control. The main is on a traveler, optimising main sheet control and adjustment to get the most out of every puff of breeze. In regards to tacking, it's easy. Turn the rudder! The self tacking jib automatically swings across and takes care of itself. The main comes about and you're off again. The shrouds are attached outboard and fastened to a bulkhead, optimised for maximum strength and better staying angles. This also allows for a lighter mast and rigging.
