The Newport 16, first launched in 1965, represents the quintessential American "pocket cruiser" of the fiberglass era. Originally conceived by renowned naval architect C. William Lapworth—the designer responsible for the legendary Cal line—this 15foot, 7inch monohull was built to bridge the gap between a highperformance dinghy and a weekend cruiser. Over its production life, the boat became a staple of the trailersailing community, produced by a succession of builders including Newport Boats, Lockley Newport, and eventually Gloucester Yachts. According to the Newport 16 Wikipedia entry, the design was so successful that it served as the foundation for several siblings, including the Neptune 16 and the Gloucester 16, with some variants featuring an enlarged "twostep" coach house roof to increase internal volume.
