Quickstep 21
The Quickstep 21 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Michael Price as a cruiser and first built in 1987.
The design was built by C. E. Ryder in Bristol, Rhode Island United States, under contract to Quickstep Sailboats. One prototype was built in 1987, with the first production boat built in 1988. A total of 40 boats were built, with production ending in 1992.
The Quickstep 21 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel, with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 2,500 lb (1,134 kg) and carries 950 lb (431 kg) of ballast.
The boat has a draft of 4.33 ft (1.32 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.92 ft (0.59 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on both sides just aft of the bow cabin. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove and a sink. The head is located in a hinged compartment. Cabin headroom is 51 in (130 cm).
The design has a hull speed of 5.8 kn (10.7 km/h).
The boat is supported by an active class club, the Quickstep Owners Group.
