Design
The Paceship 20 is a small recreational dinghy, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a folding centreboard keel. It displaces 800 lb (363 kg).[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.58 ft (0.18 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]
The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]
