Parker Trailer Sailor 21
Description
The Trailer Sailor 21 (also known as the Parker 21 or Parker 21 Trailer Sailer) is a 21-foot (LOA 21.0 ft / 6.40 m) compact fiberglass pocket cruiser designed as an affordable, easily trailered family daysailer and weekend cruiser. It features a lifting keel (or swing keel) for shallow draft and beaching capability, along with a fractional sloop rig. The boat was built by Parker Yachts (UK) starting around 1982, with a modest production run focused on practical coastal sailing rather than high-volume output. It offers basic accommodations for 4 people in a simple, functional layout, emphasizing stability, ease of launching, and low maintenance for trailer-sailing enthusiasts.
