The Quickstep 21 is a refined, trailerable pocket cruiser that emerged from the collaboration between Gary Lannigan of Quickstep Sailboats and designer Michael Price. Introduced in the late 1980s as the "younger sister" to the well-regarded Quickstep 24, the boat was intended to offer the build quality of a much larger offshore vessel in a compact, manageable package. Constructed by C.E. Ryder in Bristol, Rhode Island—a yard known for producing the Southern Cross and Sea Sprite lines—the Quickstep 21 reflects a "no-compromise" approach to small-boat construction. It features a hand-laminated fiberglass hull, a balsa-cored deck, and lead ballast, distinguishing it from many contemporary production daysailers. With only approximately 40 hulls produced between 1988 and 1992, it remains a rare find on the used market, highly prized by enthusiasts for its traditional aesthetic and robust engineering.
