  6. Review of Balboa 16

    The Balboa 16 is equipped with a finn keel. A boat with a fin keel is more manoeuvrable but has less directional stability than a similar boat with a long keel. The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 0.74 - 0.84 meter (2.43 - 2.73 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

  12. Outboard for Balboa 16

    SailNet Archive Discussion starter. 87689 posts · Joined 1999. #1 · Feb 23, 2008. I recently purchased a Balboa 16 sailboat. She displaces 1000 lbs and drafts 25' with a shoal keel. I'll keep it in a marina in the central Puget Sound area. The boat didn't come with an outboard, which brings me to my question.

  13. Balboa 20 vs ensenada 20

    May 24, 2004. 7,134. CC 30 South Florida. Oct 28, 2015. #2. I would say that the San Juan 21, the Balboa 20 and the Ensenada 20 are old boats which may have more in common with a sailing dinghy than a small cruiser. I had a San Juan 21 many years ago and the boat was a wet ride, it lacked a proper bilge so water coming in through the keel trunk ...

  14. should there be (and should I add) floatation foam within my balboa 16?

    1 cubic foot of 2 lb density foam will float 60.4 lbs (water weigh 62.4 lbs /cu ft) 62.4 -2 =60.4) 364 lbs / 60.4 lbs/cu ft = 6 cubic ft So you need 6 cubic feet just to float the keel. if the hull weighs 600 lbs and 100 lbs of that is wood then fiberglass is 500 lbs. fiberglass submerged weighs 500 x 0.33 = 165 165/60.4 = 2.7 cu ft.

  15. Balboa 15

    Mar 16, 2009. #1. I am looking at a 15' long Balboa boat. It appears to be in pretty good shape. No blisters or obvious cracks; the keel isn't scratched up at all. The access to the top of the keel is small & I can't see the keel bolts. But the bilge appears to be dry; looks like it has never had much water in the bilge, as it is fairly clean.

  18. Question about the Balboa 26

    My last paragraph was talking about the Balboa 27, a totally different boat than yours. Google it, you'll be surprised. 6'1" headroom, shoal draft keel with 140lb centerboard. A true blue water yet trailerable boat weighing in at over 6,000 lbs. I would so love one. Yes your 26 weighs about 4,000 according to forums.

  20. Balboa 27

    I ended up getting to know the Coastal Recreation boats pretty well including the Balboas and Aquarius's. While the Balboa 27's were a pretty nice design for a trailer sailor of that era, there is absolutely nothing about these boats which make them suitable for "blue water" sailing. These were very lightly built boats, with minimal stability.

  22. Thoughts on a 1975 Balboa 20'?

    Oct 25, 2010. #4. The Balboa 20 was designed by Lyle Hess and he (now departed) had a reputation for building small boats that were capable of coastal and offshore use. The B20 is one of these. The boat sales very well and is well built. It lacks interior space, however.

  24. What is the Balboa 20 good for

    Reasonably easy (2-person) trailering / launch / rigging - The Balboa 20 is very easy to rig and launch. To avoid the necessity of spreaders, Lyle Hess designed the boat with a heavier mast section than would normally be found on a 20 footer. Additionally, he gave the boat a fractional rig with shrouds aft of the mast step.
