In all fairness, Todd is right that there haven't been many purchases of new N20's in the U.S in recent memory and this is a sign that they aren't going to be commonly available NEW in the near future. No new boat sails means no fleet growth. While the 20's have a decent showing at select regattas, the numbers simply don't compare with the 18's which are growing at a very fast pace across the country and North America; I doubt the 20 will ever catch up to this. We as a class need to actively recruit guys that are on the heavy side for an 18; in order to do that we need to make a strong fleet showing at as many regattas (not pure distance race events) as possible.


Nope, Straight from Jack Youngs mouth, I was told it wasn't targeted for the US and won't be on the market here.That was a few months after he told me they wouldn't be building another 20 footer, so the info is suspect at best. Anymore smartass deductions?

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
