Leisure 20

Designed by Horst E. Glacer and built by Cobramold Ltd. in the UK from 1975 to 1984, this compact cruiser represents solid British boatbuilding from the era when affordable family sailing was gaining popularity. With 250 hulls produced over its nine-year run, the Leisure 20 found a steady following among sailors seeking a capable small yacht for coastal adventures. The boat's most distinctive feature is its twin keel configuration, which offers significant practical advantages for the coastal sailor. This design allows for comfortable beaching and drying out in tidal waters, making it ideal for exploring shallow harbors and anchorages inaccessible to deeper-draft vessels. The twin keels also provide good directional stability while reducing the healing moment compared to a single deep keel. Built with fiberglass construction and rigged as a masthead sloop, the Leisure 20 delivers respectable performance with its generous sail area. The comfort ratio of 15.88 indicates a relatively stiff, quick boat that won't pound excessively in choppy conditions, while the capsize screening value suggests good stability for coastal sailing. At just under 20 feet, this boat offers an excellent introduction to cruising for couples or small families, with enough space and seaworthiness for weekend coastal exploration.
