Scandinavian Cruiser 20 debuts at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show 

Catch a glimpse of the new Scandinavian Cruiser 20.

UK sailors looking for a new fast and practical small keel boat will get their first chance to see the new Scandinavian Cruiser 20 on stand G10 at the RYA Volvo Dinghy Show, Alexandra Palace, London, on the 6-7th March 2010.  

 Built by Danish 3rd Generation boat-builder Nis Peter Lorentzen, the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 has been developed from the lines of the Skerry boats of Scandinavia, mixing classic lines with modern materials. Along with great looks, the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 has a modern carbon fibre rig and an underwater profile that enables a sparkling performance that will delight experienced racers with close pointing, dynamic acceleration and pin-point manoeuverability.

  Built to accommodate 2 people as standard, the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 offers many practical features for both cruisers and racers alike. These include a main sail which can be reefed for cruising or beginners, a keel and rudder that can be lifted to make launching and recovering simple, a removable outboard bracket to assist when the wind dies and an outboard that can be easily stowed in the forward storage cabin along with other items required to make cruising safe and enjoyable. 

 Mark Jarvis, director at Hunter Moore, the UK importers of the cruiser, says: “The Scandinavian Cruiser 20 is one of the most stylish yet practical small keel boats I have seen in my 30 years of sailing. We are extremely excited about bringing the Scandinavian Cruiser 20 to the UK as we feel it will fit a niche in the sailing market for a new 20 foot modern, fast boat. We are also offering extremely favourable Club group discounts in order to facilitate quick establishment of both inland and coastal fleets of the Scandinavian Cruiser 20.”  

Nis Peter Lorentzen will also be on the stand at the show to discuss the design, build, development and performance of the Scandinavian Cruiser 20.
