The Skipper 20 is a recreational keelboat first built by Southern Sails in the United States, from 1978 until 1981.[1][2]
The Skipper 20 is built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim and simulated lapstrake construction. It has a fractional sloop rig, canoe hull with a raked stem, a rounded transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It was produced in two versions, one with a standard cabin and the other with a cuddy cabin.[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 2.00 ft (0.61 m) with the standard shoal draft keel.[1][2]
The boat is normally fitted with a small 3 to 6 hp (2 to 4 kW) well-mounted outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][2]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow. The portable-type head is located under the "V"-berth. Cabin headroom is 54 in (137 cm).[1][2]
The design has a hull speed of 5.2 kn (9.6 km/h).[2]
