I have a CL 16 Sailboat that is in great original condition - ready to launch and sail. It seems to have been well cared for all of its life. It's a great boat to learn with and develop skills on. It is simple to sail but set up to add more complexity (spinnaker, trapeze) as your skills improve. The mast is easy to raise single handed and it is rigged for single-handed sailing - which is how I have sailed it. It has a spinnaker chute. I have enjoyed using it and am only selling it because I am moving. The boat is still manufactured and parts are readily available from the manufacturer. I recently replaced the centerboard and the majority of the running rigging. The sails are in great useable condition - there is a main and a jib. The main has a very small puncture in it that doesn’t effect use. I have an outboard motor mount for it. It sits on a solid trailer - I do not have a the title for it. It is lightweight and easy to tow with a four cylinder car.The 10 photos are of the boat that I have, the other two photos are stock photos of this model while under sail. If you would like to come by to see it let me know.The boat is located in the east end of Pittsburgh, I have sailed it primarily on Lake Arthur at Moraines State Park - I have had a space at Watts Bay and have parked it nearby in indoor storage during the winter.From Wikipedia:The CL 16 is a Canadian-designed 16' sloop , designed by Henry Croce and Ken Lofthouse in 1967-68 in Mahone Bay, NS.
