The Splinter 21 is a high-performance pocket cruiser designed by the legendary E.G. Van de Stadt and produced by the Tyler Boat Company during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Conceived during the nascent years of the International Offshore Rule (IOR), the Splinter was intended to bridge the gap between a pure racing machine and a manageable coastal cruiser. Utilizing Tyler's expertise in Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP), the vessel features a stiff, hand-laid hull that was often overbuilt by modern standards, a hallmark of the builder’s industrial background. While many 21-footers of the era were designed as stable, heavy-displacement family dayboats, the Splinter 21 was an exercise in efficiency, featuring a fin keel and a balanced spade rudder—features that were cutting-edge for a small production yacht at the time.
