The Paceship 20 is a Canadian sailing dinghy, that was designed by Cuthbertson & Cassian and first built in 1970.[1][2][3]

Production

The boat was built by Paceship Yachts in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada, but it is now out of production.[1][3][4]

Design

The Paceship 20 is a small recreational dinghy, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom-hung rudder and a folding centreboard keel. It displaces 800 lb (363 kg).[1][3]

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the centreboard extended and 0.58 ft (0.18 m) with it retracted, allowing beaching or ground transportation on a trailer.[1][3]

The boat may be fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[1][3]

Operational history

The boat was at one time supported by an active class club, The Paceship, but the club is currently inactive.[5][6]
