Built for sailors seeking an affordable entry into coastal sailing, this compact 21-footer represents the practical approach that characterized many production boats of its era. The Clipper Marine 21 strikes a balance between manageable size and seaworthy capabilities, making it particularly appealing to new sailors or those looking for a simple weekend cruiser. Despite limited available specifications, the boat's design philosophy centers on straightforward sailing without unnecessary complexity. Its modest dimensions make single-handed sailing entirely feasible, while still providing enough cockpit space for family day sailing or teaching new crew members the fundamentals. The cabin offers basic accommodations suitable for occasional overnighting, though comfort is admittedly spartan by modern standards. This sailboat excels in protected waters and near-coastal conditions, where its responsive handling and forgiving nature shine. The boat's reputation rests on reliability rather than performance, appealing to sailors who prioritize dependable operation over racing potential. For those seeking an uncomplicated introduction to sailing or a no-frills coastal cruiser, the Clipper Marine 21 delivers practical functionality in a proven package that won't overwhelm beginning sailors or strain modest budgets.
- Prices are based on recent asking prices from public listings — not actual sale prices, which are typically lower.
- Condition is not factored in. A well-maintained boat with new sails and engine can be worth significantly more than a project boat of the same model.
- Location affects price. Boats in landlocked states or areas with fewer buyers often sell for less than those on the coast.
- Year of manufacture is not filtered. Older examples of this model will generally be priced lower than newer ones.
- Included equipment varies widely. A boat with a full suite of electronics, dodger, and new standing rigging may command a large premium.
- Outliers are automatically excluded using statistical filtering to improve accuracy, but some bad data may remain.
