Hi Shorty I was just looking at your spec's on the Diller Schwill DS16 sailboat the year 1969 was when they were first started to be built. The very last boat built was 1992 that was when Schwill yachts closed its production of the DS16 sail boat. There were 1019 DS16's built over the years of production. At the end of the line they were all known as a DS16K Shoal Draft keel. The center board models were discontinued years before the closing.

In addition to my DS16K, I also have a DS16-C which is now my trailer sailor. I did have a couple of the older style boats with the open cabin but they are now long gone. (picture)

The DS16 sailboat is a excellent sailor and handle very well and point well into the wind also very stable boat and easily sailed by one person and easy to trail behind a small car . There are actually five different version of the boat . The very first DS16 was built on November 17'1968 a couple were made in that year and in 1969 it was all go. The first series DS16's were a open cabin boat with a vee berth for overnight sailing trips...read more
