The Precision 13 is an American single-handed sailing dinghy that was designed by Stephen Seaton as a racer and first built in 1985.[1][2][3]
Production
The design was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, starting in 1985, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]
Design
The Precision 13 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with aluminum spars. It has a catboat rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces 140 lb (64 kg).[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 2.67 ft (0.81 m) with the daggerboard extended and 0.33 ft (0.10 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car rooftop.[1][3]
