The Precision 21 was conceived by brothers Bill and Richard Porter as a "maxitrailerable" cruiser, designed to bridge the gap between their smaller daysailers and the more substantial Precision 23. Launched in the mid1980s and designed by the prolific Jim Taylor Yacht Design, the model reflects a philosophy of "quality builtin," a hallmark of the Floridabased Precision Boat Works. Unlike many trailerable boats of its era that relied on water ballast or light swing keels, the Precision 21 utilizes an integral lead keel augmented by a fiberglass centerboard. This design choice provides a lower center of gravity and significantly greater stiffness than many of its contemporaries. The boat was built with a handlaid solid fiberglass hull and a cored deck, featuring a fiberglass inner liner that provides structural rigidity and a clean interior finish.
