The Precision 14 is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Stephen Seaton as a day sailer and first built in 1985.[1][2][3]

Production

[edit]

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

[edit]

The Precision 14 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig; a raked stem; a plumb transom; a transom-hung, kick-up rudder controlled by a tiller, with a hiking stick and a retractable centerboard. It displaces 250 lb (113 kg).[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 2.75 ft (0.84 m) with the centerboard extended and 0.42 ft (0.13 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]
