Lynx 16

The Lynx 16 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Tony Davis as an daysailer and pocket cruiser, and first built in 1997.

The design has been built since 1997 by Arey's Pond Boat Yard in South Orleans, Massachusetts, United States and remains available as a custom-built boat. The designer is also the owner of the boatyard.

The boat is built in both open cockpit and cuddy cabin configurations.

The Lynx 16 is a recreational centerboard boat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wooden trim of teak, mahogany or oak. Optionally the hull can be made entirely of cold-molded cedar strip and fir wood. It is a gaff rigged catboat with Sitka spruce spars. The hull has a plumb stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung, "barn door" rudder controlled by an ash wood and mahogany tiller and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 200 lb (91 kg) of ballast. The boat has foam flotation for positive buoyancy.

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.17 ft (0.36 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.

The boat is normally fitted with a small 2 to 6 hp (1 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. It may also been fitted with a 48v electric motor, such as a direct drive 3.7 kW (5 hp).

The cuddy cabin design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with two 76 in (193 cm) berths and a portable type head. Cabin headroom is 40 in (102 cm).

The design has a hull speed of 5.4 kn (10.0 km/h).
