The CL 16, or CL16, is a Canadian sailing dinghy that was designed by Ian Proctor (1918-1992), Graham Dodd and George Blanchard, as a cruiser and daysailer, and first built in 1968.[1][2][3]

The CL 16 is a development of Proctor's 1957 Wayfarer design and is identical in dimensions and shape, with differences only in interior details. Proctor considered it an unauthorized copy.[1][4][5]
