Scandinavian Cruiser 20 - Classic One-Design Day-Boat

Sailing the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 for two warm and sunny days on November 25-26, 2009 with light wind of 5-10 knots in Xiamen, China. The water and air temperature was around 25C (80F).

I wish sailing could be like this every day!

In this 2.5 minute video you watch the first test sailing of the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 on September 26, 2009.

The idea behind Scandinavian Cruisers is to recapture the essence of sailing, by going back in time to a period a century ago when boats were considered truly beautiful, and sailing was a genteel, aspirational and romantic lifestyle.

Scandinavian Cruisers combines the style, beauty, high speed and superior maneuverability of classic Skerry Cruisers (Square Meter Yachts) with todays busy modern lifestyle and the latest technologies.

The design of Scandinavian Cruisers is admired equally by experienced sailors and landlubbers, giving the owner true pride of ownership.

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.

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.

Hi Greg,

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

Best regards
