The Windrose 20 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed stub keel and retractable centerboard. It displaces 1,650 lb (748 kg). [1] [2]

The boat has a draft of 4.50 ft (1.37 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.00 ft (0.30 m) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer. [1] [2]

The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [2]

The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin and two straight settee berths in the main cabin. The galley is located on the starboard side amidships. The head is located in the bow cabin on the port side under the "V"-berth. [1] [2]

For sailing the design may be equipped with one of several sized of jibs or genoas. [2]

The design has a hull speed of 5.36 kn (9.93 km/h). [2]
