Contents
Derived from the similar 1963 Constellation 16, the Tanzer 16 design was developed into the Overnighter 16 in 1964, by the addition of a cuddy cabin.
Production
The boat was built by Tanzer Industries in Canada and remained in production until the company went out of business in 1986.
The boat's class association acquired the tooling for the design after Tanzer Industries closed down, but it is unknown if more examples have been produced since then.
