Precision 15 - Keel Model
This boat was donated to the Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association, a nonprofit sailing school, and is being sold for the benefit of their youth sailing program.
A 2012 model, this boat spent its entire life on Squam Lake. The owners reluctantly parted with it because of advancing age. In fact, it was not sailed very much in recent years. It has been very well cared for and is still in extremely good condition.
The Precision 15K is truly unique. When you think of a 15-foot sailboat you think of a cramped, lightweight, tippy, centerboard dinghy. This boat is just the opposite! It is one of the few designs of its size with a ballasted keel instead of a centerboard, and its wide, 9 foot cockpit provides more space than many larger boats!
This boat comes with a Magic-Tilt trailer for easy launching, and its hinged mast base and simple rig makes it fast and easy to rig the boat.
The Precision 15 was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto Florida. More than 800 were built from 1995 to 2018. The manufacturer lists the boat's design goals as "safety, stability, reliable handling, and sprightly speed under sail"
