The Drifter 16 is a larger version of the Drifter 14, and is designed for one or two people.
It can be paddled or sailed with a simple rig using a windsurfing mast. It can be car
topped, or carried on small trailer. It is easy to sail, tacks well, and is very stable. Because
you steer the boat with your feet, your hands are always free. It’s a great boat for
exploring protected rivers and bays, or for camp cruising for one person, with plenty of
storage for gear. It is easy to build out of plywood, and weighs about 130 lbs. My wife bought it because she thought it was cute. But we now have three trimarans and we are looking to have more room in the backyard.
