Design

The Aero 20 is a small recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a transom hung rudder and a conventional fin keel giving a draft of 4.00 ft (1.22 m). The hull design was based on the Independence 20, a boat designed by Mull for disabled sailors. [1] [7]

The boat is rigged with the unusual "aero rig", whereby the main and jib sails are on a common fore-and-aft boom. [1]

The design displaces 2,250 lb (1,021 kg) and carries 700 lb (318 kg) of ballast. It has a hull speed of 5.65 kn (10.46 km/h). [1] [3]
