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 1400NaN0.[1] [3]

The boat has a draft of 2.67feet with the daggerboard extended and 0.33feet with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car rooftop.[1] [3]
