hello Drew-

I have sailed an SC20 in SFbay [1981] and nearly froze to death. A wet suit should be strongly considered. As far as being wet the answer is YES. Its a firehose for the crew if they are sitting on the hull. The wave piercing oval design allows the heavy air spray to come right down the middle of the hull. If you both are on the traps then its cool to see the water going by your feet. The furling jib allows you to do away with alot of the spray but not all. The boat sails great in the heavy air of SFBay with main alone with two people and with one its very light to handle. The shroud extenders work great in SFBay I can attest to that... The tall hulls work very well in the chop as well. Both my 1980 FMS/SC20's are/were great boats. I am in the process of restoring my 1980 FMS 20 #57 presently and will be singlehanding it by next spring.

fair winds,
