The Precision 185 CB is an American sailing dinghy that was designed by Jim Taylor as a day sailer and first built in 2001.
[1][5] The design was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, between 2001 and 2018, but it is now out of production.
It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an open plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable centerboard.
[1] The boat has a draft of 4.83 ft (1.47 m) with the centerboard extended and 6 in (15 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.
[4] In a 2002 review Alan Andrews wrote, "the Precision 185 was voted Best Value for its combination of good sailing characteristics, substantial construction, and reasonable cost.
