Silver Gull 16
Description
The Silver Gull 16 (sometimes listed simply as Silver Gull) is a compact 16-foot sloop-rigged daysailer, with designer listed as Unknown in standard sailboat databases. It appears as a rare or one-off/small-production fiberglass or plywood boat from the mid-20th century era of affordable trailerable sailboats, distinct from Tom MacNaughton's better-known Silver Gull series (which features the 19-foot pilothouse junk-rigged cruiser and larger variants like the 28, all based on simple straight-line plywood "instant boat" construction with no 16-foot sloop model documented in the series plans). Exact builder and construction history details are scarce, with no clear factory production numbers published; it likely represents a limited or home-built example rather than a high-volume class, similar in spirit to other obscure pocket sloops of the period.
