Designed by renowned naval architect Jim Taylor, whose portfolio includes work on America's Cup contenders like Mighty Mary, the Precision 165 was introduced in 1995 as a "maxi-trailerable" crossover. While many boats in the 16-foot class are open-cockpit dinghies or water-ballasted daysailers, the Precision 165 was engineered as a genuine small keelboat. Built by Precision Boat Works in Florida, the model was intended to bridge the gap between high-performance daysailing and light "camp-cruising." It remained in production for nearly 25 years, appealing to sailors who demanded a stable, responsive hull that could be towed by a standard passenger vehicle and launched single-handedly from a ramp.
