JAGUAR 21

About the JAGUAR 21

A fixed keel version was also available.

Designed by John Mullins and built by Jaguar Yachts from 1978–1997, the Jaguar 21 is a compact fractional sloop with a displacement of 2513.0 lb and a max draft of 4.0 ft. While the exact hulls built count is unknown, the fleet is characterized by a lightweight design with a D/L ratio of 225.15 and a comfort ratio of 12.91.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and trailerable boat owners who prioritize ease of transport and storage over heavy offshore capability. Its fractional sloop rig and variable keel options make it accessible for single-handers and couples seeking a manageable, lightweight cruiser.

Bluewater capability:

With a low displacement of 2513.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.4, the Jaguar 21 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a bluewater passagemaker. Its lightweight hull form and variable keel configuration suggest limited stability in heavy offshore conditions compared to heavier displacement designs.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include the O'Day 23 and Catalina 22, which share similar dimensions and trailerable footprints from the same era. These models are comparable due to their role as entry-level coastal cruisers with fractional rigs and similar displacement ranges.
