The Newport 16 is a recreational keelboat first built in 1965[1][2][3][4][5] by Newport Boats, Lockley Newport Boats, Gloucester Yachts and Capital Yachts in the United States, and is now out of production.[6][7]
It was also made and marketed as the Newport 16, the Lockley Newport 16, the Gloucester 16,[5] and in modified form, as the Neptune 15.[1][3][4]
Designed by Bill Lapworth, the fiberglass hull has a raked stem, a slightly angled transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel or swing keel.[1][5]
It has a fractional sloop masthead sloop rig. A good-sized sail plan and relatively big cockpit make it a suitable daysailer.[5]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two adults and two children, with a small double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee quarter berths in the main cabin. There are no provisions for a galley. The head is located under the bow "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 48 in (120 cm).[1][5]
The design has a hull speed of 5.0 kn (9.3 km/h).[5]
