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 "maxitrailerable" crossover. While many boats in the 16foot class are opencockpit dinghies or waterballasted 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 highperformance daysailing and light "campcruising." 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 singlehandedly from a ramp.
