The Phantom 16, also called the Phantom 16', is an Italian catamaran sailing dinghy that was first built in 1988.[1] [2]
The design has been built by Centro Nautico Adriatico in Italy since 1988 and remains in production.[1] [3] [2]
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 sailboat, built predominantly of glassfibre, with a foam core. It has a stayed fractional rigged sloop rig. It has a rotating, watertight anodized aluminum mast and full battened Dacron mainsail. The hulls have raked stems, vertical transoms, transom-hung, kick-up rudders controlled by a tiller and retractable kick-up centreboards. The boat displaces 2650NaN0 and can be fitted with a gennaker.[1] [2] [4]
The boat has a draft of 1.5feet with the centerboards extended and 0.25feet 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]
