ISAF (International SAILING Federation) gave the U20 a 'recognized' keel boat classification
The Ultimate 20 is a performance-driven, mono-hull boat designed to reach multi-hull speeds. When you're at the helm, you'll feel a quick, dinghy-like response combined with the stability normally expected on a much larger boat. At just 21 feet long, the Ultimate 20's smart design and fine craftsmanship combine to create a sturdy, reliable, safe, and economical boat.
With its small size and simple design, the Ultimate 20 is the ideal boat for racing. Whether your preference is One Design, PHRF, or mid week beer cans, the Ultimate 20 offers plenty of thrills. Standard features include positive flotation, a patented keel lifting system and a deck mounted bow-sprit. The Ultimate 20 is easy to sail and just as easy to launch. With precision control and state-of-the-art technology, this maintenance-free performer also carries an award for the industry's highest resale value.
The Ultimate 20 is perfect for sailors looking to graduate from smaller boats, catamarans or sailboards. And first time sailors will find the efficient size, unparalleled stability and spacious cockpit of the Ultimate 20 hard to resist.
