Pacific 21
Description
The Pacific 21 (also known as the Pacific Pilot 21 or Pacific Pilothouse 21) is a compact pilothouse sailboat, typically around 21 feet in length, designed by John Lovett and built in limited numbers (exact quantity unknown, but appears to be a semi-custom or small-production run, often from the 1980s era, with examples like a 1983 model noted in listings). It features a distinctive enclosed pilothouse for weather protection, transom stern, and is suited for coastal or protected-water cruising with auxiliary power (e.g., inboard diesel like a Yanmar). Construction is fiberglass, emphasizing a cozy, pilot-house layout for extended outings in cooler or wet conditions, though it's a niche design with sparse widespread production details compared to mainstream models.
