Hi Guys, Just bought a 1990 16 (sold my 81 last fall) and curious what (if any changes) were made to the design.

Thanks for the great community here BTW - so incerdibly useful :)

Basic design isn't any different.

What you may notice:
- Comptip
- Low profile main blocks
- EPO rudders (maybe)
- Possibly lighter, but probably not.

That's about it. Not much changed at all between '81 and '90.

and

- adjustable rudder castings
- beam mounted swivel cleats for jib sheet (but your '81 may have had this upgrade)

Until recently, I've sailed the 20th century versions exclusively.
'81, '91, '01, '11...still the best ride !
