Looking for something in the 19’-20’ range with a spinnaker.
Looking for an older boat, in very good condition.
Let me know and will see you down there.

Pants size too. Trey needs that as well to make the sale final.

Downsouth,

Trey will find you a great N20 at the right price. However, you need to know what you want before going down this route. Do you really want a N20? AKA, do you have more than 340lbs to put on the wire? That is why undecided is joking about pant size!

If you have less weight or are marginal, as a N20 owner I will recommend you seriously look at a newer F18 (Infusion or Capricorn), or if you are more budget strapped (less than 10k), a Hobie Tiger (preferably with newer sails). You cannot keep the N20 flat downwind in a blow, or reach in 15kts+ with much less than 360lbs. Its not really a weight thing per say, it's a spinnaker shape issue, but more weight fixes the problem.


Scorpion F18

Sam states the above as a very lightweight crew on a N20. Mad props to Sam and Kirk for wrangling that tiger by the tail and kicking some butt.

Downsouth, just sent you a private message about our F18 which we are going to sell. We will be at Tradewinds. I am new at this forum, so if you don't get the private message with boat details, let me know here, and I'll try again.
