Used Balboa 16 Sailboats for Sale

The Balboa 16 is an American trailerable sailboat, designed by W. Shad Turner, that emerged in 1981 from the Coastal Recreation Inc. shipyard in Costa Mesa, California. Conceived primarily as a day sailer, this compact monohull quickly found its niche, embodying Coastal Recreation's mission to make sailing accessible and enjoyable for a broader audience. It represents a segment of the brand's well-known "Balboa" line, which contributed significantly to fiberglass sailboat ownership in the United States.
