Design
The Alize 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel with a retractable centerboard. It displaces 992 lb (450 kg) and carries 287 lb (130 kg) of ballast, of which 66 lb (30 kg) is the centerboard weight.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 3.94 ft (1.20 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.31 ft (0.40 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin.[1][2]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker.[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.69 kn (10.54 km/h).[2]
