The P-27 became the P-28 with the addition of a swim step in an extended transom. She has successfully completed some surprisingly long passages, and has earned an impressive number of rewarding wins in club level racing. Targeted to be the biggest cruiser that could be practically trailored behind a family car, the Precision 23 is an enduring benchmark for her size and type. They said that their Precision 21 suits them perfectly. I recently encountered a Marblehead family of four going out for an evening sail, and they could hardly have been happier or more complementary about their boat. Designed to fit right between the Precision 18 and Precision 23, the Precision 21 was intended to appeal to sailors requiring neither the minimum cost of a mini-, nor the extra space of a maxi-trailerable. Not too big, not too small, and for some, just right. She has a remarkably loyal following, and is still in active production after nearly 30 years. The Precision 18 was designed to be the smallest boat that could be practically cruised, and still be easily trailered by a relatively small car. The board itself is only heavy enough to drop on its own, so that it can be raised and lowered with one hand, and so that stability is not reduced significantly when it is up. The ballast is secured deep in the fixed keel cavity to maximize stability. The Precision cruisers all feature a keel/centerboard underbody that combines modest draft when with the board is up, with excellent windward performance when the board is down. The essential ‘Precision DNA’ that is central to the performance, style, modest draft and easy trailering of each Precision model is common to them all, but there are differences that give them their individual appeal. Stylish looks, lively performance, and fun sailing are all top priorities for both designer and builder on all Precision sailboats. Their boats were carefully built to their designed weights, and they are rugged, reliable, and long lasting. They built to an equally high standard, with materials that are chosen and used carefully, and with quality rigging and hardware that is appropriate for the intended use. Their tooling was exquisite, and it produced attractive, stylish, high quality molded parts throughout their model line, from the Precision 15 to the Precision 23. Precision shared our commitment to, and pride in, doing small boats well. We are also proud of our long term association with Precision Boatworks, which began in 1984 with the Precision 18 and continued until they ceased new boat production 35 years later. We take great pride in applying the same standards to all our work. Small-boat sailors derive every bit as much satisfaction from their modest craft as jet-setters do from their big ones, and we approach our smaller designs as no less significant, only less big. We have designed our share of large yachts, but our enthusiasm for small boats remains undiminished. Cruisers | Daysailors | Crossover | Frequently Asked Questions
