The Chrysler Pirateer 13 is a nimble, 13foot sailing dinghy that emerged during Chrysler Marine’s aggressive expansion into the recreational boat market in the 1970s. Positioned as a versatile trainer and family daysailer, the Pirateer was designed to bridge the gap between small, singlehanded board boats and larger cruising sloops. With a length overall of 13' 1" and a beam of 5' 6", the vessel was engineered for ease of trailering and rapid rigging, reflecting Chrysler’s "Total Boating" philosophy of the era. Built in the Plano, Texas facility, the Pirateer utilized a solid fiberglass hull construction that has contributed to its longevity in the secondary market.
