Quickstep 21
Description
The Quickstep 21 is an American trailerable cruising sailboat designed by Michael Price and constructed by C.E. Ryder in Bristol, Rhode Island, beginning in 1987. This 20.83-foot vessel represents Price's expertise in creating practical pocket cruisers that balance seaworthiness with trailerable convenience. Built with fiberglass construction featuring a stub keel with retractable centerboard configuration and fractional sloop rig, the boat was designed specifically for coastal cruising families seeking the advantages of shallow-draft sailing combined with comfortable accommodations. The boats were originally equipped with Thurston or Hood sails and were available with a variety of fine options from roller furling to a cruising spinnaker, to teak cockpit gratings. They were essentially semi-custom production sailboats.
