The Precision 21 was conceived by brothers Bill and Richard Porter as a "maxi-trailerable" cruiser, designed to bridge the gap between their smaller daysailers and the more substantial Precision 23. Launched in the mid-1980s and designed by the prolific Jim Taylor Yacht Design, the model reflects a philosophy of "quality built-in," a hallmark of the Florida-based 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 hand-laid solid fiberglass hull and a cored deck, featuring a fiberglass inner liner that provides structural rigidity and a clean interior finish.
