The Trac 16 (sometimes styled as the TRAC-16 or Trac-16) is an American catamaran sailboat that was designed by Steve Nichols as a day sailer and first built in 1983.

[1][2] The design was built in the United States by the AMF Alcort division of American Machine and Foundry, starting in 1983.

[1][2][3][4][5][6] The Trac 16 is a recreational sailing dinghy, with a fractional sloop rig and its hulls built of fiberglass.

The hulls have raked stems and plumb transoms with dual transom-hung rudders controlled by a tiller.

The boat has a draft of 9 in (23 cm), allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
