Designed by Lee Creekmore and first launched in 1979, this compact 20-footer represents a thoughtful approach to small boat cruising with surprising accommodations for its size. The fiberglass construction combined with a keel/centerboard configuration gives owners the versatility to explore both deeper waters and shallow gunkholes that would challenge fixed-keel boats of similar length. With a generous beam of 8.20 feet and substantial displacement of 2,750 pounds, the Creekmore 20 offers impressive stability and interior volume for weekend coastal cruising. The masthead sloop rig provides straightforward sail handling, while the moderate sail area keeps the boat manageable for small crews or single-handed sailing. Her comfort ratio of 13.77 suggests a motion that favors stability over speed, making her well-suited for leisurely coastal exploration rather than competitive racing. The hull's design emphasizes seaworthiness over pure performance, with a capsize screening value that indicates reasonable offshore capability for experienced sailors, though her primary strengths shine in protected waters and coastal day sailing. Her moderate hull speed reflects the designer's priority on comfort and accommodation over racing performance, creating a boat that rewards careful seamanship with reliable, predictable sailing characteristics.
