Paceship P 2-16
Description
The Paceship P 2-16 (also listed as Paceship 2-16 or P2-16) is a compact, trailerable centerboard daysailer from Canadian builder Paceship Yachts Ltd. (Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia), produced starting around 1970. Designed by G. William McVay, it's a lightweight fiberglass dinghy that balances fun performance, shallow-water access, and ease of use — ideal for lake sailing, coastal bays, club racing, or family daysailing. It's part of Paceship's early lineup of affordable, practical small boats before the company shifted to larger models and was later acquired by AMF (1977).
