The Phantom 16, also called the Phantom 16', is an Italian

sailing dinghy that was first built in 1988.[1][2]

Production

The design has been built by Centro Nautico Adriatico in Italy since 1988 and remains in production.[1][3][2]

Design

The manufacturer describes the boat's design as "a compromise, since it strikes the right balance between practicality and fun."[2]

The Phantom 16 is a recreational

raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung, kick-up rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable kick-up centreboards. The boat displaces 265 lb (120 kg) and can be fitted with a gennaker.[1][2][4]

The boat has a draft of 1.50 ft (0.46 m) with the centerboards extended and 0.25 ft (0.076 m) with them retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof rack. A two-piece mast is available to facilitate ground transport and storage.[1][2]

The boat can be sailed with one to three people.[2]
