Production
The design was built by Laguna Yachts in Stanton, California, United States starting in 1981. The company had bought out Coastal Recreation, Inc of Costa Mesa, California and made it a subsidiary. Coastal Recreation's 1981 Balboa 16 design was developed into the Laguna 16 in 1984. Laguna went out of business in 1986 and the design is no longer in production.{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/laguna-yachts|title = Laguna Yachts 1973 - 1986|access-date = 25 March 2022|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2020|archive-url= https://archive.today/20220325115600/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/laguna-yachts|archive-date= 25 March 2022 |url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/builder/coastal-recreation-inc|title = Coastal Recreation Inc. 1968 - 1981|access-date = 2 September 2020|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2020|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200829192732/https://sailboatdata.com/builder/coastal-recreation-inc|archive-date = 29 August 2020|url-status= live}}{{cite web|url = https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/balboa-16|title = Balboa 16 sailboat |access-date = 2 September 2020|last= McArthur| first = Bruce |work = sailboatdata.com|year = 2020|archive-url= https://archive.today/20200829192551/https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/balboa-16|archive-date = 29 August 2020|url-status= live}}
