The Luders 16, frequently referred to simply as the L-16, is a striking example of "miniature" classic yacht design, often described as a scaled-down version of the International 6-Metre or 12-Metre yachts. Originally designed by Alfred "A.E." Luders Jr. of the Luders Marine Construction Company in 1934, the design saw a significant technological evolution when Easterly Yachts in Pearlington, Mississippi, began producing fiberglass versions in 1972. While the "16" in its name refers to its 16-foot waterline length, the boat actually measures 26 feet in length overall (LOA). The Easterly-built fiberglass models allowed the class to survive and thrive by transitioning away from the high-maintenance molded plywood hulls of the original post-WWII production runs. These fiberglass iterations maintained the iconic long overhangs, narrow 5'9" beam, and deep-draft keel that define the boat’s aesthetic and tactical pedigree.
