The Martin 16 is a small Canadian keelboat designed specifically for adaptive and accessible sailing. It was first built in 1995 by Martin Yachts, who completed 58. Production then passed to Abbott Boats, who built 55 boats. The original molds were destroyed in a fire in 2006, but a new set were built in 2009 and production was restarted by KAPE Boatworks. The design remains in production.
