The AMF Apollo 16 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Canadian Bruce Kirby as a one-design racer and first built in 1977.
[1][2][3] The design was built by the Alcort division of American Machine and Foundry in the United States, starting in 1977.
[1][3] The boat has a draft of 2.60 ft (0.79 m) with the centerboard extended and 6 in (15 cm) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is equipped with a stowage bin, hiking straps, plus dual Elystrom vacuum bailers.
Modifications permitted for racing are minor, with the intention to keep Apollo a true one-design class.
