The CL 16 , or CL16 , is a Canadian sailing dinghy that was designed by Ian Proctor, Graham Dodd and George Blanchard, as a cruiser and daysailer, and first built in 1968. [1] [2] [3]
The CL 16 is a development of Proctor's 1957 Wayfarer design and is identical in dimensions and shape, with differences only in interior details. Proctor considers it an unauthorized copy. [1] [4] [5]

The design has been built by C&L Boatworks since 1968 in Belleville, Ontario and more recently in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada . It remains in production. [1] [6] [3] [7]
Henry Croce and Ken Lofthouse of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia started as importers of the wooden Wayfarer, until a labour strike in the UK cut off the supply. They had the boat adapted for fibreglass construction and started their own production line as C&L. Ian Proctor considered it an unauthorized copy of the Wayfarer. [5] [8]
The CL 16 is a recreational sailboat , built predominantly of fibreglass, with mahogany wood trim. It has double-chined ; planing hull; a fractional sloop rig; a raked stem; a plumb transom ; a transom-hung, kick-up, fibreglass rudder with an aluminum head, controlled by a tiller and a retractable centreboard . Unusually for a dinghy the mainsail is equipped with one set of reefing points. The boat displaces 365 lb (166 kg). [1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 3.83 ft (1.17 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.67 ft (0.20 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer . [1]
A motor bracket is a factory option, to allow the boat to be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and manoeuvring. [1] [3]
The boat is designed to be sailed by a crew of two, but can accommodate up to six people. [3]
For sailing the design may be equipped with a spinnaker and a trapeze. [3]
Operational history
In a review the Outer Harbour Centreboard Club wrote:
[T]he 16 has proven itself to be a remarkable dinghy that is able to perform as well as it can last. Every 16 was built to last for the long haul; hand laid up using the best materials, outfitted with high quality durable rigging and fittings and backed by the builder ... This unchanged design is the 16's greatest selling point – a product that has lasted more than 40 years relatively unchanged obviously is the right design and allows for all CL16s no matter what year to compete and its sailors are able to talk about every boat with out worrying. The continuity of the 16 assures resale value should that time come. The present day 16 is an attractive well mannered proper little sailboat. [9]

Where can I find an owners manual for a Cl 14? Need rigging instructions, etc. Looks to be the same set up as the Cl 16, but not sure.
Are you sure it is not the 15? I found this one https://sailseas.com/Bergen/docs/Coronado%2015%20Owners%20Manual.pdf Also I did an image search on Coronado 14 sailboats and found a bunch of pics. that show the rigging rather clearly.

Replacement spreaders for CL16 mast

CL 16 - Wikipedia
why do you need to replace them and why not just get new ones from C & L

Are the current spreaders foil shaped or just tubes? You should be able to get generic spreader stock through a rigger and cut them to length. You could also make your own spreaders. I had a 20ft race boat years ago and I made spreaders out of wood, and then wrapped them with a couple of layers of carbon fiber just for fun. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

I think I would take the suspect spreader to a local rigger. They are usually not too specialized as far as how it is made. Looks like a fun lil' boat.

Finding a good small boat for day sailing, trailering...
I see you already ordered parts. But CL 16s are pretty much Wayfarer clones. Most parts should be close to interchangeable. https://www.tridentuk.com/gb/boats-and-catalogues/wayfarer-parts-catalogue.html
Yes, I think building the spreaders myself will be the best way to get back on the water. But thanks a lot for that great Wayfarer site ! I had looked at Selden as they make a Wayfarer mast but seems they no longer make the simple aluminum tube spreaders I have.

The original company was sold, and the new owners were charging people for parts and then never delivering them. I believe there is a Canadian company that can provide replacement parts for the CL16. CCI. 251 5th Ave. Amprior, Ontario. Canada. K7S 3M3. [email protected]. How could I get a copy of the manual.
Croce and Lofthouse were temporarily left without a business so they created a new 16 foot sailboat in fibreglass to replace the wooden Wayfarer; hence the CL16 was born in all fibreglass construction." There was a bit of controversy here as the CL 16 is identical in shape of wetted hull and sail plan to the Wayfarer, but has an altered cockpit.

A boat with a BN of 1.6 or greater is a boat that will be reefed often in offshore cruising. Derek Harvey, "Multihulls for Cruising and Racing", International Marine, Camden, Maine, 1991, states that a BN of 1 is generally accepted as the dividing line between so-called slow and fast multihulls.

The overnighter version is more or less a Wayfarer hull with a cabin on it. There is lots of info online about Wayfarers, much of it should be close to Mistral 16 specs.

While you are designing your trolling motor mount, you may want to put some serious thought into how you are going to secure a potentially 40 or 50 pound battery. As CL 16's are unballasted dinghies, the securing method for the battery needs to be totally secure. A loose battery can do a lot of damage in a capsize. D.
