The Precision 185 is a recreational keelboat built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, between 2001 and 2018.[excessive citations]

The fiberglass hull has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, an open plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel.

It has a hull speed of 5.47 kn (10.13 km/h).

There is also a centerboard sailing dinghy derivative of the design, the Precision 185 CB.
