The Quickstep 19 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Stuart Windley as a pocket cruiser and first built in 1989.[1][2][3]
The Quickstep 19 is a development of the Gloucester 19.[1][3][4]
The design was built by Quickstep Sailboats in Bristol, Rhode Island United States, starting in 1989, but it is now out of production.[1][3][5]
Design
The Quickstep 19 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a lifting keel or optional fixed fin keel. It displaces 1,800 lb (816 kg) and carries 750 lb (340 kg) of lead ballast.[1][3]
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of 2.17 ft (0.66 m), while the lifting keel-equipped version has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the keel extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, a galley and a head, with cabin headroom of 44 in (112 cm).[1][3]
The design has a hull speed of 5.5 kn (10.2 km/h).[3]
