About
The SL 16 is 16’ long, built of GRP with twin trapezes, an asymmetric spinnaker and skegs (not dagger boards). Although there are not many of them in the UK the boat is very popular with sailing schools in France because it is a good balance between stability for beginners and performance for more advanced sailors looking for a more technical challenge.
Our opinion
Hayling Ferry Sailing Club has two SL 16s for use by members who join the Club Boat Scheme.
