This is a New Hampshire boat that has been on fresh water its whole life.  The donor is moving out of the area and has reluctantly parted with it.  It even includes a spinnaker, the original owner's manual, plus lots of loose gear the donor has left aboard.

 

It was built in 1981.   Hull ID# CLKE2428M81B

 

It has good sails, including a spinnaker, and all the pieces and parts to make it ready to sail away. The swing keel and sturdy EZ-Loader trailer will allow you to easily transport and launch the boat yourself, and avoid costly boatyard fees.

 

The San Juan 21 blends a combination of performance and ease of sailing.  They are very easy to set up and can be put in the water in as little as 25 minutes. With the swing keel, they ride low on the trailer and can be launched and retrieved from almost any ramp.

 

 A popular family boat, the San Juan 21 was produced from 1969 to about 1984 with over 2,600 produced.

The San Juan 21 is a pleasure to sail for both novices and experienced racers. Due to its light weight (1400 lbs Class Weight), it accelerates briskly in puffs and will literally sail rings around most bigger boats in light to moderate winds. There are several one-design class fleets located at various lakes across the country with active racing schedules all summer. While designed more with performance in mind, the boat is comfortable for weekend cruising for two adults with two small children. It has space for a camping toilet and ample storage for other essentials.

 

In the late 60s, it became apparent to boatbuilder Don Clark that there was a niche in the boat market for a lightweight, trailer-based design that could be daysailed and used as a week-end cruiser. Clark decided to design a boat superior to others in this niche, the San Juan 21. This boat featured a bigger V-berth, an easily stepped rig, and a fully retractable swing keel and kickup rudder.
