Designed by Jim Taylor, the Precision 23 is easily trailer launched and retrieved, yet is big enough for short cruises with long berths and ample storage below in a very attractive setting. Taylor emphasizes sailing performance with all Precision models. Her tall mast has a fractional sail plan for easy headsail handling, upwind performance is impressive and a mast that is easy to raise. The shrouds are located inboard for a tighter sheeting angle and for walking about the deck with ease. 

The Precision 23 hull represents a very careful refinement of the basic form that has proven so successful in all of Precision’s well known trailerable cruisers. Lively performance, reliable handling and high stability are all the hallmarks of these designs. They feature a sharp waterline entry, substantial topside flare forward and powerful quarters taper to a shapely transom. This precise combination of features avoids the trim and handling problems that less well balanced hulls suffer when heeled.

The well proven internally ballasted shoal draft fixed keel with fiberglass centerboard used in the Precision 23 is the most practical solution for combining upwind efficiency and stability. This design allows the internal lead ballast to be placed as low as possible for increased stability. And the fiberglass centerboard is easily raised/lowered by a single Dacron line. The centerboard provides lift for great pointing ability yet is easily raised for increased off wind sailing. 

A generous cockpit 7’3� long with coamings high enough to keep your crew secure and the low sleekly styled cabin house provides excellent visibility forward. The cockpit seats are angled for maximum comfort both heeled and at anchor. A ventilated fuel storage area and large cockpit sail locker are part of the roomy cockpit.

Considered to be a “maxi-trailerable�, the Precision 23 far outstrips many boats in terms of true usable space, both on deck and below. Special emphasis has gone into giving the P-23 her particular bright and uncluttered interior. The bulkheads are intentionally trimmed back to avoid subdividing the visual space. The typical intrusive mast compression support has been eliminated by clever use of a rugged overhead support beam fiberglassed to the deck. The especially large companionway, multiple cabin ports and forward hatch contribute to the feeling of light and open space. The double berth forward is generous and there are full sized berths aft which will accommodate 3 more. The portable head has a dedicated space forward and the fixed galley is aft where it is convenient to both cabin and cockpit.

The Precision 23 is a well thought out, meticulously detailed and carefully constructed trailerable cruiser whose interior and lively performance will give you and your family one of the best sailing boats available in this size range.

This Precision 23 has been very well cared for and is in well above average to excellent condition overall. do not miss out on this great trailerable. You get what you pay for with this one!
