Seller's Description

CL16, 1980 16 ft. classic daylsailer. As you probably know, the CL16 is a Wayfarer clone, built in Canada by CL Boatworks. They built them with a double hull, hence it is unsinkable. (if you have a chainsaw, you can prove it! After you own it)

The boat is in great shape. 2 white sails in very nice condition. All the rigging is ready for the water. The trailer is ready to go anywhere. Older evinrude 2.5 hp motor is really cute, starts right up and suits the boat well. in Woodstock, ‘Sailing Capital of the Universe’, New York. $2000 or phone 845 544 5373

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Based on the Ian Proctor designed WAYFARER. CL = Croce & Lighthouse.

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.

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.
