Sportz 16 sailing boat from Bowdidge Marine Design



This one is a gem,small enough to tow behind even a small car but powerfull enough to sail really well,it has an SA/D of 24,thats a handy power to weight ratio without it being too over powering,we will soon offer this new design as one of our kits.


design brief:

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.
