The DS-16 is a Canadian trailerable sailboat, that was designed by G. Diller & H. Schwill and first built in 1970.[1][2]
The boat was built by Diller-Schwill (DS Yachts) in Odessa, Ontario Canada, but it is now out of production.[1]
Design
The DS-16 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a fixed shallow draft keel or optionally a centreboard. It displaces 500 lb (227 kg) and carries 135 lb (61 kg) of ballast.[1]
The centreboard version has a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.58 ft (0.18 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1]
The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1]
