Scandinavian Cruiser 20 - Classic One-Design Day-Boat

[Roadracer987654321]

My First Fishin gBoat was an old 1960 Dual Console 20" Fiberglass Boat .The repair shop i took it too gave it one heck of a Fiberglas repair job on the lower huill. The crack was about 14 inches right through. The Fiberglass Repair was Pretty Darn Good. It sank on it's Third Fishing Trip in about 45 to 60 " feet of water. I didn't have a Depth Gauge. I Retroactively called that boat The Minnow 1. True story. That was in 1987. I wonder if it is still down there.

This sloop reminds me the Timber Point 23... made in the USA.. very charmy!!

Is it for sale?

@tsvca

The Timber Point 23 is beautiful. Yes it seems to have inspired the Scandinavian Cruiser 20, which by the way is for sale. You can visit the main web site for US distributor information.

It's gorgeous! What is the minimum sailor weight for this boat?

[nispeterlorentzen]

Ivanna,

If you can sail a SKUD 18 then you can easily sail the Scandinavian Cruiser 20.

There will not be any minimum weight in our class rules. I sailed her alone, and as you can see it worked well in light air. In heavy air it is better to be two people, and to use the trapeze. For a leisure cruise you can even fit in 2 adults and a child.

whats it look like in 25 knots?

[nispeterlorentzen]

25 knots is OK for me. Let go together if it is ok for you. I suspect that she will be planing...

She is a very light boat so she will sail above the waves rather than ploughing through them.

Fantastic! I think she's more BB11 than Flying Fifteen. I have owned a BB11 in the UK for fifteen years, and always been impressed by the sea-keeping abilities of the boat. It is great to see the beauty of the skerry cruisers being updated, the very best of luck with getting the class established.

All the best

Hi Greg,

The Norwegian sailing magazine "Sailas" called the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 the 20th century BB11.

Best regards

Nis

It seems like an updated, superficially old-fashioned, Flying Fifteen.

[nispeterlorentzen]

Uffa Fox was an important mentor for our project. He was a great designer and boat builder, and his Flying Fifteen was at the cutting edge of technology at the time when he developed it. We are hoping that the Scandinavian Cruiser will one day be recognized for the same achievement in our time.
