What I noticed when I boarded was a look and feel of a larger boat good non-skid on the deck, life lines, an anchor locker forward, and all controls running to the cock pit. The cockpit is ample enough for several adults. I am sure not having the mast down helped with the uncluttered feel. The Precision 18 has fractional rig and is easily rigged in minutes. Harken Hardware, with all controls lead to the cockpit for easy single handing. Sails include Main with single slab reef, working Jib 100% cut for roller furling 150%Genoa, Radial cut Spinnaker 3/4oz. Black Mainsail cover. It comes with a custom mast raising kit. She has a long shoal shallow keel and her draft with the board up is only 1’6”, kick up rudder made of fiberglass, center board retracts into the keel. The keel holds 360 lbs of lead ballast for stability. Auxiliary power is from a JOHNSON 6hp SAILMASTER with 4 amp generator and 3 gallon fuel tank, hours estimated at 10. Stainless Swim Ladder, 48qt cooler, portable head. MAGIC-TILT galvanized trailer with spare tire. This should be a lively but well mannered boat based on the hull design, simple rig, light weight- hand laminated fiberglass hull & deck with a balsa cored deck . You will find good space below to overnight or get out of the weather if needed. Give me a call to arrange a showing or talk more about this neat day tripping trailer sailor.
