Knockabout 16
Description
Designed by renowned Pacific Northwest naval architect Ed Monk Sr. These are classic wooden or wooden-style daysailers with a weighted centerboard for stability, fractional sloop rig, and good performance in varied conditions. Examples from the 1960s occasionally appear for sale. They're trailerable, stable, and favored in areas like the Pacific Northwest.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
