The Aquarius 21 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Peter Barrett as a cruiser and first built in 1969.[1][2][3][4]

The design was also sold in slightly modified form as the Aquarius Pelican from about 1978 and, later, the Balboa 21.[1][4]

Production

The design was built by Coastal Recreation, Inc in the United States, but it is now out of production.[1][4][5]

Design

The Aquarius 21 is a recreational sailboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a spooned raked stem, an angled transom, a "pop-top" cabin, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard.[1][4]

The boat is normally fitted with a small Шаблон:Convert outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[3][4]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two quarter berths in the main cabin, under the cockpit. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a stove and a sink. The head is located under the bow cabin "V" berth, on the port side. Cabin headroom is Шаблон:Convert, or Шаблон:Convert with the "pop-top" open.[1][4]

The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 273 and a hull speed of Шаблон:Convert.[4]
